Popped into Pooches Palace Mackay to do a customer check in this morning.

After some obligatory pats it was as made clear all was in order. 🐶

Have a pet at doggy day care?
Did you know you can drop your bottles and cans off at the same time as your fur baby and you’re donating direct to Lucys Lucky Tags & Dog Rescue Inc!

No can should go to waste!

Amazing effort Life with the Valjaks!

With school holidays in full swing a small bag of cans can help fund a movie ticket, drinks or snacks at the pool or a few games of basketball at Timezone.

Don’t waste the cash that you already have!

We turned our empty bottles into CASH! 💰♻️
David has entered his recycling entrepreneur era.

Can you guess how much money he earned from the bottles he collected? 😁💰

Video will be out tonight at 7PM AEST.

Welcome to the expanding ‘Containers for Care’ initiative being spearheaded by RSPCA Mackay super volunteer Rob!

I’ve been eager to say:
‘the animals at the shelter have a new Gardian’!
🐶 🐈 🥷

🏢 With more then 20 businesses across Mackay already participating in the Containers for Care program, if you think you might be a fit to the current 10c program reach out and we can organise a cross business consultation.

👀 The evolution of the Containers for Care program will see not only 10c refundables being recycled but also a mini circular economy within Mackay. Products and reusable waste exchanged between charity’s and businesses to land at their most useable and sustainable location.
Keep your eyes peeled for ways you and your business can join in.
