Containers for Change

Reduce waste and help MCG by recycling!
Mandurah Community Gardens Partners with Containers For Change
​Mandurah Community Gardens is a partner in the Containers For Change initiative and we have collection bins on site for depositing your containers for recycling. The containers are regularly collected from the gardens and are taken to a refund point. The payment we receive is then credited to our Scheme ID number.
​
If you would like to make a donation to Mandurah Community Gardens, please drop your containers off on our open days into our Container For Change bins.

Donate your containers to MCG

Picture
​You can drop off your containers in person to a refund collection point and then make a donation to MCG simply by quoting our Scheme ID Member No. C10271362. 

​The value of your deposits will be donated to Mandurah Community Gardens - THANK YOU, you will be supporting a much valued asset to our community!

MCG is a not for profit community organisation and we will use these funds to cover costs of water and electricity used in the garden, ongoing maintenance in the garden and to provide resources for use in the garden.
