Supporting Charities & Community Groups

Here at Cairns Recycling, we've helped make donations to a lot of charities over the years! Your containers can do something good too. Next time you drop off containers at one of our recycle centres, you can send your refund directly to a charity, school or community group of your choosing. We accept donations at all our recycling centres throughout Cairns and beyond, including Smithfield, Portsmith, Mareeba, Edmonton, Gordonvale and Mackay.


Our container refund points are authorised by the Queensland Containers for Change scheme with hundreds of charities available to donate to. Whether you're passionate about animal welfare or helping to protect our oceans, you're sure to find a charity that aligns with your values. Plus, if your local charity isn't there, direct them to our page and they can get set up to start receiving donations! For all enquiries, call our friendly team on 0433 146 625.
