How the good causes scheme works
Every 3 months all the eligible causes will be put into a draw. The 3 successful ones will be contacted and all unsuccessful nominations will be carried forward to the next draw.
The current round of donations runs from Saturday 1 November 2025 to Saturday 31 January 2026.
Current good causes
The 3 good causes are:
Assisting Berkshire Children Read
The donation will help children in Berkshire become confident readers, recruiting volunteers and providing engaging resources.
Thames Hospice
The donation will help to fund end of care treatment for patients.
Tuesday Stroke Club
The donation will help us provide outings and cover the transport costs of getting our wheelchair members to meetings.
How to donate your points
To donate your recycling reward points to any of these causes, log in to your account.
A point counts as a vote, rather than a monetary value. The scheme is sponsored and currently £1,000 is available to be split between the good causes every 3 months. When the donation period ends, the points total is recorded and £1,000 is split between the 3 causes. The funds are split in proportion to the points donated to each cause.
The good causes scheme is currently being sponsored by our waste collection contractor SUEZ.
