Collect and clean together

Students and families can gather empty cans and bottles, give them a quick rinse, and get them ready to return. Working as a team makes the job easier and helps collect more containers.

Turn containers into school funds

Each eligible container earns 10 cents when it is taken to a refund point. Little by little, those coins can grow into a helpful amount for the school.

Use the money for great rewards

Schools might put the money toward play equipment, sports gear, technology, garden projects, or other things that help students learn and have fun.

Ideas for a class or school

Set a class goal and count how many containers you need to reach it.
Choose one school reward everyone is excited to help fund.
Remind families that recycling can both help the Earth and support the school.
