Keep kids like Ben off the streets
Each eligible bottle or can donated raises 10c to help transform the lives
of homeless and vulnerable young people in our community.
Donating your 10c container refunds to Youth Off The Streets protects the environment while supporting our mission to end youth homelessness.
During our 2023 partnership with Return and Earn and network operator TOMRA Cleanaway, Australian recyclers have raised over $115,000 for children and young people in need so far.
You can still donate to Youth Off The Streets via the Return and Earn app! Together, we can change lives and strengthen communities well into the future.
Simply collect your eligible bottles, cans, cartons and juice boxes and follow the steps below.
