Support your local clubs

This patrol season, Elouera, Austinmer and Kurrawa Surf Life Saving Clubs are calling on their community to support them through recycling. Every eligible bottle or can donated generates the standard 10-cent Container Deposit Scheme refund for the club, helping fund a practical club need. Coca‑Cola is boosting these community recycling efforts with an additional $50,000 per club to help it reach its goal.
