In the days when acronyms and catchy social media phrases take off at light speed, I heard of one recently termed wish-cycling. This is when one places an item in the recycle bin in the secret hope that the people who deal with recyclable material will get it to right place.
Sadly this may not be the case, but the news is not always bad. We now have the opportunity together to make a new term. Gift-cycling can become the new way for community organizations to raise money to do good in their community. If we tackle the containers return as well as South Australia we can reap some serious cash, 10 cents at a time.
All you need to do is keep every eligible drink container, bag it up and drop it off. Put the name of you participating group (we hope it will be Emu Park Lions), Please use the Reference C100 40139 on each bag when you take it to a recycle center and you know your gift will benefit a lot of people.
Emu Park Lions club has now registered and you can now simply write out the Club name and Reference Number on your returns and that’s it. As usual every cent raised by Lions is directed to the many projects around the world that the Lions are involved with. We thank everyone in advance for their donation of eligible drink containers.
In Emu Park you can drop to the recycling point behind the Pattison St Servo Tuesday and Wednesday 11am to 4pm.
