In 2003 Dave West, Jeff Angel and a group of passionate people with the support of Total Environment Centre, began to campaign for a container deposit system across Australia and decided to create an alliance among all sorts of environmental groups – from surfers to recyclers, to clean up and neighbourhood groups - to give local communities power and influence in their struggle to stem the massive waste of discarded resources polluting our playgrounds, parks, rivers and beaches. The Boomerang Alliance quickly grew from 9 groups and now comprises 55 national, state and local allies. Boomerang is an incorporated association and registered charity.  Each of our allies has the right to their own policies, and decides the level of support they give to our campaigns.
