RETURN AND EARN AND GUIDE DOGS
A SIX-month Return and Earn campaign has raised more than $175,000 for Guide Dogs NSW/ACT, funding the breeding, raising and training of three new guide dogs, each costing over $50,000. The donations—generated through 10c container refunds—will support people living with low vision or blindness, a growing group of more than 500,000 Australians. Return and Earn has become an important fundraising channel, raising over $82M for charities and community groups since 2017 through the NSW Government’s recycling initiative.
