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 August to Saturday 31 October 2026.
Current good causes
The 3 good causes are:
The Sandhurst Stroke and Disabled Club
“The donation will go towards the running costs of the club, such as hall hire and speakers.”
4th Bracknell Sea Scouts
“The donation will help provide fun activities such as cooking, games, trips, crafts and camps for the children.”
South and South East Berkshire Gang Show
“The donation will go towards costumes, music and lighting to continue to perform our variety show at The Wilde Theatre.”
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.
