Since the arrival of the Deposit Return System (DRS) for plastic bottles and aluminium cans, many organisations have seen it as a great opportunity to raise much needed funds by providing drop off and collection points for returns. Organisations can avail of supports from Re-turn, who deliver the scheme, to facilitate collections.
Tidy Towns, Schools, Clubs, Charities, Companies, Hospitals, Local Events and Festivals. These initiatives are for charity fundraising purposes only and not for personal benefits.
The bin is free of charge and is 320ltr. It is lockable and has a rosette opening on the lid designed to facilitate the insertion of bottles/cans and avoid heavy contamination. Bags are provided and are heavy duty and designed for re-use, these are intended for use as a liner inside the bin.
Keys and bags are provided at the point of delivery.
Re-turn also have digital assets to help you to promote online, and posters that are ready for print with the option of adding your logo or name.
Re-turn don’t organise collections, you still need to do that yourself, but they have some useful tips on their website to streamline the process.
