Support Local Nonprofits by Redeeming Containers
Containers for a Cause contributes the proceeds from redeemed containers to local charities and nonprofit organizations.
Those deposits can add up fast, bolstering the efforts of a variety of causes. From animal shelters and community fundraisers to larger initiatives, your containers make the difference. Our quarterly recipient of your donation deposits will go to Kids First Law Center.
So, don’t throw your money away. Turn eligible containers into charitable donations with Containers for a Cause.
Committed to Our Community
In fall 2024, we teamed up with Dance Marathon and the Iowa Children’s Hospital to collect containers during Iowa home football games. The proceeds went directly to both organizations in the fight against childhood cancer.
We pick a local nonprofit every quarter to receive money from deposited containers. Since 2022, we’ve donated more than $65,000 through this initiative! This money comes from a few places:
- Undesignated donations and abandoned bags
- Customer-donated containers
Turn Containers into Cash
Every container counts! Tossing them into curbside recycling or even into the trash is the same as throwing away cash. If you don’t want that money, donate it! Bring those containers to Can Shed and donate them to a worthy cause.
