This term at St Paul’s we will be rolling out a new recycling initiative based on the Victorian Government Return it Program. The Return It Program is run by the Victorian government and under this program, returning containers earns you cash (10c). Our school can participate in this program as a school.

Families can return their containers at Return It stations and designate the funds to St Paul's. Students will also have the option to return their containers at school, for instance, from their lunch boxes or from items bought at the canteen (like flavoured milk containers). Students have begun to do this in Year 1 and have raised $6 so far. We are hoping to allocate these funds to the senior school to upgrade the interactive whiteboards in the classrooms. 

If you’re returning to a station when allocating the funds please type the following Zone ID barcode 2000013299. Below are step-by-step images of how to allocate funds to the school when returning items at Return it Stations.
