Helping Tasmanian Animals One Bottle at a Time
Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Tasmanian community, supporters of RSPCA Tasmania have raised an outstanding $15,643 over the past six months simply by recycling eligible 10c containers.
This achievement was made possible through RSPCA Tasmania’s major partnership with Recycle Rewards with donations collected at more than 40 Recycle Rewards refund points across Tasmania. Every bottle and can donated helps provide care, shelter, and support for animals in need throughout the state.
Introducing Recycle, Snap & Win!
RSPCA Tasmania is making it even easier and more fun for supporters to donate their container refunds.
To help supporters get familiar with donating via the Recycle Rewards app or donation barcode, we’re launching a family-friendly competition: Recycle, Snap & Win!
The idea is simple
- Collect your eligible 10c containers, enlist the help of your fur family, and snap a photo showing how your pet helps you recycle — whether they’re “supervising,” playing with bottles before recycling, or just offering moral support at one of over 40 collection points statewide.
- Post your photo on Facebook or Instagram and tag us by typing @rspcatasmania (selecting RSPCA Tasmania so it turns blue). You’ll automatically go into the draw to win one of six fantastic Petbarn gift vouchers, kindly donated by the Petbarn team in Tasmania.
What you could win
First prize: $200 Petbarn gift voucher
Two second prizes: $100 Petbarn gift vouchers
Three third prizes: $50 Petbarn gift vouchers
You can enter once per day and as many days as you like during the competition period. Each entry must include a photo and your postcode.
Tasmanian residents and mainland visitors are welcome to enter as long as the recycling is done at a Recycle Rewards collection point in Tasmania.
If you prefer not to use social media, entries can also be emailed to events@rspcatas.org.au
