How our community is fundraising
At Kew High School in Melbourne’s inner east, there’s a waste revolution going on. The school’s Eco Crew have transformed how students and teachers dispose of their drink containers, and they’ve turned the results into cash through Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme.
For the Victorian SES Emerald Unit, being a partner of Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme provides a major opportunity for community engagement.
Donations have ramped up quickly for this community-focused club. They’re turning empties into much-needed funds.
