We recently ran a very successful Blister Pack Recycling Pilot Project, funded by a grant from The City of Greater Geelong, with 10 Pharmacies from around Geelong participating as collection points for empty blister packs. This Pilot has now concluded but we managed to recycle over 200kg of empty packs during the time the Pilot was running.
Now we have provided funding to sponsor Recycling Boxes for Kardinia Pharmacy and we hope to be able to provide more boxes as funds allow. So, you can drop into Kardinia Pharmacy in Belmont and put your empty blister packs into their recycling box to avoid them going into landfill.
If you would like to support us in the provision of Blister Pack Recycling Boxes to pharmacies you can donate directly to the project via our online link in the right hand column of this page or scan this QR Code
Did you know that The Rotary Club of Highton is listed as a charity on the CDS App, which means you can donate some of your refunds from recycling cans and bottles to us. The donated funds will be used to continue to support Blister Pack Recycling at Pharmacies - so the more funds we collect, the more recycling boxes we can provide. Here is a quick video to show you how easy it is to recycle and choose Highton Rotary as the beneficiary.
We are so very grateful for your support as we seek to make a difference and improve lives. You can also donate directly via this link https://www.trybooking.com/au/donate/hightonrotarysupport?source=donationsWidget
