‘Can’ you please get around this initiative to support Rail Trails Australia.
"Rail Trails Australia can now receive donations through the "Containers for Change" scheme in Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales.
The scheme enables you to receive 10 cents for every can and bottle you drop off at various locations around each state You can choose to donate your refund directly to Rail Trails Australia where your funds will be specifically allocated to help us advocate for developing and improving rail trails around Australia.
Each state has their own container deposit scheme website where you can sign up. If you then search for Rail Trails Australia, you can choose to allow us to receive your donation.
Each scheme has its own mobile app which is useful for donating to Rail Trails Australia at the various drop off locations in each state, especially at the vending machines.
In Victoria, the scheme is called Container Deposit Scheme - you can sign up through https://cdsvic.org.au/
In NSW it's called Return and Earn - https://returnandearn.org.au/
Both Queensland and Western Australia use Containers for Change -https://www.containersforchange.com.au/
Hopefully South Australia, ACT, Northern Territory and Tasmania will soon allow direct donations as well.
