Same plastic. Different ending.

Thrown away, it’s rubbish. Dropped off, it’s recycled and helps your community.

How it works.

  1. Join free

    It takes a minute. Choose a local school or Bank Sampah to support.

  2. Drop off

    Bring them to a drop-off point near you.

  3. Watch it add up

    Every drop-off adds to your community’s total.

It comes back to your community.

Bank Sampahs earn income from all the plastic and cartons they recycle. Schools earn rewards as more families join and drop off, and use them for:

  • Sports
  • Club activities
  • Technology
  • Classroom supplies
  • Trips and events
  • Scholarships
