Containers For Change 10c Hedland

02/09/2026

Yesterday, James was our first South Hedland Drop & Go Containers For Change user!

Today James is our first repeat Drop & Go customer, with another two bags collected and dropped off today.

Previously it took James 50mins to walk from South Hedland to our Depot in Wedgefield. Now he can walk 30mins around South Hedland, collecting containers and dropping off his collected containers.

James has really welcomed the new South Hedland Drop & Go collection point.

It’s so much more convenient when collecting containers in south.

James does it for exercise and to get paid at the same time. 😊 Picking up eligible drink containers makes him feel good.

James - doing his bit for Hedland!

Care For Hedland & our local environment thank you! Thank you!
