Recycle Rewards: Turning Cans into Care for Our Wildlife
Download the Recycle Rewards App at the links below to support our carers
On Flinders Island, community and environment are deeply connected. Every small action we take can ripple out into something much bigger - and that’s exactly what our new Regenerosity initiative is all about.
The Furneaux Collective has joined the Recycle Rewards program at the Whitemark Tip to create a new way for our community to give back. By depositing your bottles and cans through the vending machine and donating the funds to the Furneaux Collective, you’ll be directly supporting the incredible work of our local wildlife carers.
Why it Matters
Caring for wildlife is no small job. Injured birds of prey, orphaned wombats and wallabies - all require food, shelter, and medical care. Much of this responsibility falls on the shoulders of a few passionate locals who open their homes and dedicate their time, energy, and personal resources to giving these animals a fighting chance.
Through Recycle Rewards, the simple act of returning a container becomes a contribution to their work. Every deposit helps fund formula, medicines, enclosures, and other vital supplies - turning waste into wellbeing for our island’s wildlife.
Who You’re Supporting
Funds raised will be shared between:
Kate’s Wombats – hand-rearing and caring for orphaned wombats.
Naomi & David’s Wallabies – providing safe refuge and care for rescued wallabies.
Patriarchs Sanctuary – offers close up encounters with wombats, wallabies and birdlife.
Mel’s Raptors – rehabilitating injured and orphaned birds of prey.
Together, they form a network of care that reflects the heart and resilience of our island.
Small Actions, Big Impact
It’s easy to underestimate the power of a single container. But when our community recycles together, those bottles and cans quickly add up.
Every return is more than just recycling - it’s an act of care for the creatures we share this island with.
How You Can Get Involved
Recycle at the Whitemark Tip: Simply bring your bottles and cans and nominate to donate.
Spread the Word: Tell your family, and friends.
Be Part of the Collective Effort: Share in the knowledge that your small act is part of a bigger picture.
Recycle Today, Nurture Tomorrow
At the Furneaux Collective, we believe in solutions that weave together people, place, and purpose. Recycle Rewards is one way we can act locally, live sustainably, and care for the creatures who share our island home.
Together, let’s turn recycling into resilience. 💛
