The Container Deposit Scheme will soon run across the whole of Australia, giving you a 10c refund for each can or bottle you return to be recycled.
But did you know that you can donate your 10c container refund?
The music scene has an oversized footprint - generating a massive amount of waste per year.
At Green Music Australia, we are working hard to reduce the impact of the music sector and create a greener cultural scene for everyone.
Your CDS donation to Green Music Australia could:
- Help venues and music businesses undertake sustainability training through our Green Action Program
- Reduce the huge amount waste left behind at camping festivals through our waste reduction tool Camping Buddy
- Support artists to reduce their waste through our Sound Country: Green Artist Guide
- Help phase out single use plastic bottles at music events by encouraging artists to take the BYOBottle pledge
