Turn everyday recycling into meaningful impact
What is Return Giving?
Return Giving is a recycling program that makes it easy for your organisation, residential facility or community group to contribute to both environmental sustainability and local healthcare.
By recycling eligible containers such as water bottles, cans, and glass, you help generate funds that directly support the important work of CHF all while reducing landfill and lowering environmental impact.
How It Works
Getting involved is simple:
- We provide onboarding support to get you started
- Our recycling partner, ReTurn IT, collects directly from your workplace or home
- Every container returned generates funds to support CHF
With minimal effort, your team can make a real and measurable difference.
