Our Mission

Turning Recycling into Housing

Every year, millions of bottles and cans are thrown away.

At Cans For Cause Australia, we believe those containers can do much more.

Every eligible container collected is worth 10 cents through the Container Deposit Scheme.

Our Commitment

50% of every eligible container refund (5¢) goes directly towards supporting youth housing initiatives across Australia.

The remaining funds help cover collection, transport, recycling operations, and expanding our community collection network.

Together we're building a cleaner Australia while helping young Australians access safe and secure housing.
