Hilton Primary School cashing in on Containers for Change
Hilton Primary School is one of just dozens of schools, community groups and sporting clubs using the City of Fremantle’s Containers for Change refund point to raise much-needed funds.
Containers for Change allows people to claim a 10-cent refund for every eligible beverage container they hand in to refund points like the one at the City of Fremantle Recycling Centre.
Hilton Ward councillor and Hilton Primary School P&C member Frank Mofflin said the school had already raised hundreds of dollars through Containers for Change.
“The school received a grant from the Department of Water and Environment to purchase a Containers for Change trailer,” Cr Mofflin said.
