Late last year you may have seen an email encouraging you join Emanuel School’s ReCollect Program. In case you missed it I am sending this reminder and offer great thanks to the families who have thus far taken this opportunity- you have already made a difference!

We need more families to get involved and it’s easy!

What is Recollect?

ReCollect is a program that will pick up recyclable plastic and glass bottles from your home and recycle them for you, donating 10c to our chosen charity-Our Big Kitchen- for every bottle.

What do you need to do?

Joining is simple: click here to set up an account, book a collection and donate to the school.

Once you have collected at least 2 bags of eligible bottles:

1. Download the ReCollect app from the App or Google Play Store
2. Click the sign in as a customer
3. Enter the details it asks for.
4. Click to organise a pickup – make sure you have at least 2 bags of bottles
5. Follow the instructions on the app
6. Make sure to enter EMANUEL SCHOOL as the organisation to make sure all donations go straight to Our Big Kitchen and use promocode EMANUEL SCHOOL

The benefits

• Sustainability – The school will have a running tally of achievements with tangible information about the positive impacts of our efforts.
• Charity – Help support a local charity in need!
• ‘Closed Loop Recycling” is used by Return and Earn which is more effective than the recycling of materials you place in your home recycling bin
• Setting a great example about being proactive for your children

If you have any queries email info@re-collect.com.au or call their customer service team on 9137 6188 for assistance.

Thank you for your support!
