Think ‘Super Hero’ and a muscle-bound cape crusader may leap to mind, but what if all it takes to save the planet is a paddle, a kayak and a couple of hours to spare?
Retiree David Sear is a super hero when it comes to keeping his Gold Coast backyard spic and span. His superpower? Recycling!
David is a Change Maker in the Containers for Change multiverse. Twice a month, the former Qantas pilot cruises the coastal waterways, collecting and cleaning up what others leave behind.
You too can help David fight the good fight – after all there’s a lot to do! Queenslanders guzzle their way through 3 billion drink containers each year. Before Containers for Change, many would end up in landfill or as litter.
With the help of people like David, Containers for Change has led to a whopping 48 per cent reduction in plastic rubbish across the state – and it’s easy to get on board!
Receive 10 cents back on most aluminium, glass, plastic, steel and liquid paperboard beverage containers between 150mL and 3L, including glass wine and spirit bottles.
Once returned, containers are sorted into types, then transported for processing.
Fancy being a superhero and saving the planet? No cape of x-ray vision required! Collect and cash in your containers for a 10 cent refund at more than 360 refund points across Queensland.
