Tasmanians can now turn their 10 cent container refunds into life-changing support, with Guide Dogs Tasmania announced as the new statewide Major Donation Partner for Recycle Rewards.
Until 31 May 2026, Tasmanians can donate the refunds from eligible drink containers to Guide Dogs Tasmania at Recycle Rewards refund points across the state, helping fund vital services for people who are blind or have low vision.
The partnership is aiming to raise $10,000, with 10 cent refund contributing to mobility training, therapy programs and the preparation of future guide and assistance dogs.
Guide Dogs Tasmania CEO Anna Presser said the partnership provides an easy, everyday way for Tasmanians to make a meaningful difference.
“We’re incredibly proud to be part of the Recycle Rewards program following its launch here in Tasmania less than 12 months ago,” Ms Presser said. “With Recycle Rewards, Tasmanians can support environmental sustainability while helping empower people who are blind or have low vision.”
As Major Donation Partner, Guide Dogs Tasmania will be featured on reverse vending machine touchscreens across the Recycle Rewards network, making it easy for users to choose to donate their container refunds directly to the charity.
Recycle Rewards provides a 10 cent refund for most drink containers between 150ml and 3L, which can be kept or donated to more than 620 registered donation partners statewide.
