Always great to see our units being embraced by the community.

🍾 We can't bottle it in any longer.

We’re trialling container recycling baskets and racks on public bins in Sunshine and St Albans.

They're clearly labelled with the container deposit scheme branding you're used to seeing at refund points.

The purpose of these baskets is to:
🤝 Leave your empty containers for others to take
💲or collect the ones already there and take them to your closest refund point for a 10-cent refund.

The trial will help us understand how these baskets and racks can support our community to recycle more bottles and cans.

📢 If you have feedback about the trial, please contact [email protected] or call 9249 4000.

🗑️ If you see baskets or racks that are vandalised or being used incorrectly, please Report It www.brimbank.vic.gov.au/report-it

Some of our community-donated units are ending up the in the wild. While donated to people with the intention of them installing them on their front fence, it’s great to see the West End Community getting behind the concept. #4101

➡️ Paying it forward is now easier than ever with Containers for Change Container Exchange Points being installed on public bins around the region.

Bin Bypass units got a workout over the long weekend at Cotton Tree Park.

Bin Bypass were proud to present at the Impact Boom Social Enterprise Showcase event last week at The Triffid in Brisbane.
Our founders successfully completed a 20 week accelerator program funded by the Qld Government under the Social Enterprise Growth fund amongst a cohort of 12 fellow organisations.
Throughout this program, Bin Bypass were able to refine elements of our Social Enterprise, identify our beneficiaries, better understand the issues we are solving and our client needs, refine our theories of change, align to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, connect with the national ecosystem, set ambitious environmental and social impact goals and put systems in place to measure our impact as we grow.
Many thanks to our program facilitators Sarah Ripper, Tom Allen, Eliana Cruz and Javier Casanova and congratulations to our fellow program graduates Save Our Supplies, Fibre Foundry, Australian Urban Growers, Yoga on the Inside, The Fig Tree Gift Shop, Umgum Marketing & Media, Cadent, Dyan Merz Tolentino, Jacob Birch and Dr Yannick van Hierden.
