Good causes for the recycling incentive scheme

How the good causes scheme works

Nominations are open all the time. 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 1 February to 30 April 2024.

Current good causes

The 3 good causes are:

Newbold Toddler Group

The funding will be used to update and replace some of our toys and purchase craft supplies.

Great Hollands Primary School

The donation will be used to purchase new playground equipment to support positive playtimes across the school.

Wooden Hill Primary School

The funding will be used to purchase much needed equipment for the school's nursery garden.

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.

If you are interested in sponsoring the scheme fill in the incentive scheme enquiry form.
