How 9,242 Empty Containers Turned Into Community Magic

If you’ve ever doubted the power of an empty drink container, let us reassure you… it’s mighty. In fact, it’s 9,242‑containers‑mighty.

That’s how many Containers for Change the incredible residents, hardworking builders, and the ever‑energetic SAND Team managed to collect throughout 2025 — and yes, we counted every single one. (Don’t worry, no containers were harmed during the tallying process.)

♻️ What 9,242 Containers Means for Shoreline

Besides being an impressive testament to how often we all stay hydrated, this effort has directly boosted SAND’s funding for community events at Shoreline.

More fun.
More frequency.
More “Wow, they really went all out this time!” kind of events.

Your recycling has helped create moments that bring everyone together — and for that, we’re incredibly grateful.

😂 The Fun Side of Recycling

Let’s be honest: most of us have watched an empty bottle roll dramatically down the driveway on bin day. But thanks to you, those containers didn’t end up blowing into the next suburb or starting a turf war between wheelie bins.

Instead, they became community fuel — quite literally turning loose containers into laughter, entertainment, BBQ smells, and family memories.
