Return for Charity Bins at Canberra Centre

We’re excited to announce the launch of our Return for Charity Bins, now available at two convenient locations within Canberra Centre. In partnership with the ACT Container Deposit Scheme, we are making it easier than ever for you to give back to the community while doing your part to reduce waste.

 

Where to Find the Bins

• Lower Ground Food Court – Near the escalators
• Outside of Bakers Delight.

Simply bring your eligible drink containers, such as bottles and cans, and drop them into the Return for Charity Bins. With every container you return, you’ll not only be helping to reduce litter and recycle, but you’ll also be donating 10 cents directly to a local charity.

 

How It Works:

1. Take your eligible drink containers (bottles and cans).
2. Drop them into the Return for Charity bins located in the Food Court and Coles Mall.
3. The 10c refund will be counted and donated to charity on your behalf.
4. Feel good knowing you’ve contributed to a great cause!

 

Partnering with Karinya House

We're proud to announce our partnership with Karinya House, a not-for-profit organisation servicing Canberra and surrounding regions to provide safety, shelter, and a positive support network for women. As a 24-hour, seven day a week service, Karinya House is the only service of its kind, specifically for women who are pregnant or parenting, offering case management services which may include residential or outreach-based support services. They are a non-religious, non-government and non-judgemental organisation. They assure women that no matter their situation, Karinya House is there to help without influence over their decisions. They provide support and a safe place for women to make the best possible choices for themselves and to determine their own parenting journey.

 

Karinya House helps reach every woman and their babies/children who need support in the ACT and surrounding region. By using the Return for Charity bins, your 10-cent refund will be donated to provide professional services and facilities for women who are pregnant or parenting, and to help provide place of sanctuary and growth.
