Collecting deposit packaging for your association can be a fun activity - as you both earn money and contribute to the environment at the same time. We have collected a few tips on how others who have recieved a lot of deposit have done. Maybe you can come up with even more ways?
- Set up goals to make it more fun for the people who are involved - how are you going to use the money?
- Tell family, friends and neighbours that you are collecting deposit for your association.
- Place containers or bags for collecting deposit at cups, home games or other events.
- Ask the nearest grocey store if you can put a container with a note that people can donate deposit, imported aluminium cans and damaged cans to your association (only associations receive compensation for imported and damaged cans).
- Put flyers in mailboxes that you will come and collect a deposit at a certain time or place.
- Do deposit collection activities at, for example, festivals, street parties or other events.
- Ask the municipality for permission to place a container for import cans and deposit packaging at the recycling station.
- Look for deposit packaging in garbage cans, in road ditches and at the same time make an effort for our environment.
- Advertise in the local press that people are welcome to donate cans or bottles to you to support your association.
- Check with local entrepreneurs and businesses if you can take care of their deposit - as a convenient and cheap way for them to sponsor your association.
