It took all of us to get Cash for Containers in NSW. QLD and Victoria are our next targets.
Can you help us get the word out by sharing our video?

    Keep up the great work. We will also get involved now as we have identified that the majority of the plastics are actually be captured and delivered by the Storm water drains and interconnecting pipe networks to outfalls. We are also seeing plastics in nearly every drain and we are also seeing plastics breaking down in the drains. We can stop them going in with our at source stormwater filtration device, this will create a major dent in the supply of plastics into our oceans. All Australians need to lobby the Government if we are going to turn this around. As the video states the BIG producers like Coke don’t want change because it will eat into their profits. Coke does not care about the environment, a social media nightmare when it gets out. C

    Even picking up a few plastic bottles, bags and other (especially the tiny bits of plastic) waste on a beach can make a difference.

    All of these organisations are doing a great job, the more support we can give them, the better.

    SCRAPLtd has been a big part of supporting the Cash for Containers scheme for many years. Well done Boomerang Alliance for continuing this work and striving to get this initiative back. Many of us remember this scheme from childhood where we ran around after events and collected all the bottles, etc for our pocket money. Parks were never so clean! It needs to come back.

    Please support the Boomerang Alliance – they have been encouraging governments to create incentives to remove and recycling Australia’s rubbish – much to the annoyance of the companies creating the rubbish. Companies like Coca Cola Amatil.
    These guys are gold – it’s a David and Goliath battle and they are winning! To keep winning they need a huge grass-roots support base. I’m part of it; will you be?

    Hi Friends.
    This is a great organisation, but it needs to be BIGGER. Please add your support by joining the Boomerang Alliance now.
    If we get together, we will win the fight for a national beverage container deposit scheme. Thank you. JE

We acknowledge that the name of our organisation includes the name of the Aboriginal tool, the BOOMERANG, adopted for the symbolism of returning to the user. We hope that the resources we use, which all come from the land, will be part of a circular economy and return to that economy again and again. We respectfully commit to Care for Country in the spirit of the Indigenous custodians of this land and these waters. We recognise that there has never been compensation for stolen country. We continue to show our respect to Indigenous leaders, past, present and emerging. May we all walk respectfully on the land and protect the waterways which are life.
