Recycle with SAND
Help SAND by donating your Containers for Change (CFC) recycling! It’s easy, and your donations support our neighbourhood and the planet!
If you live in Shoreline, wash and bag your containers, and we'll pick them up. Just email secretary@sand.org.au, including your contact details, when you have a few bags ready and we’ll arrange collection with you.
If you prefer to drop off your donations, there’s a CFC collection point in the car park at the top of Jingeri Street/Mountain Ash Way. Please use our team number C11570688 on the bag label so the refunds go to SAND.
Every donation supports events, facilities, and services for our community. Thank you so much!
