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 May 2025 to 31 July 2025.
Current good causes
The 3 good causes are:
Fox Hill Primary School
The donation will go towards buying new resources for the children to support their learning across the school.
Friends of Birch Hill
The PTA are raising money to replenish the playground equipment and games.
Newbold School PTFA
The donation will go towards building a new outdoor learning space in the school playground.
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.
