Information for Leaders

Fundraising through Containers for Change

• Your Guide Unit needs its own Scheme ID. Download instructions here.
• Make sure your Scheme ID is linked to your Unit bank account.
• Provide your Scheme ID details to Guide House ASAP. Email [email protected].
• If you don't have a Scheme ID yet, you can opt to donate to Girl Guides WA's Scheme ID: C10253835.
• Decide how you will store containers. You can order bags that hold 250 containers from Guide House at 50c each by emailing [email protected].
• Make sure containers are clean when storing – milk cartons will begin to smell.
• There will be deposit points close to you. Check the CDS website.
• Every deposit needs to be labelled with your Scheme ID. No ID, no money!
• Cans should not be crushed, as the refund mark/bar code will be scanned for automatic recognition of eligible containers.
• Contact [email protected] for a social graphic or business card template to promote your Unit's Scheme ID. You can then get these printed.
