What's a CDS?

A Container Deposit Scheme, or CDS for short, is like a recycling superhero! It’s a special way to recycle that’s all about earning rewards while helping our planet. So, how does it work? Let’s break it down:

♻️ Step 1: Saving Your Containers

First, when you enjoy a tasty drink from a bottle or a can, you don’t throw it away. Instead, you save it in a bag or a box at home. It’s like collecting treasure!

♻️ Step 2: Treasure Hunt Time

Once your bag or box is full of containers, it’s time for a treasure hunt adventure. You take your containers to a special place called a Collection Depot. Here’s where the magic begins!

♻️ Step 3: Earn Rewards

At the depot, they count your containers and give you 10 cents for each one. 🤑 That’s right, you earn real money for your recycling efforts! 🤑

♻️ Step 4: The Recycling Journey

But the adventure doesn’t stop there. Your containers go on a recycling journey. They get cleaned, melted down, and transformed into brand-new things. It’s like a recycling superhero makeover!

Why is a CDS so Awesome for Kids?

Now, you might wonder, “Why should I join the recycling fun?” Well, here are some fantastic reasons:

1. Earn Money for Fun Adventures: You can earn 10 cents for each container you recycle. Imagine all the fun things you can do with that money – save for holidays, buy presents, or have exciting adventures with your friends and family!

2. Be an Eco-Hero: By recycling, you become an eco-hero! You’re helping to keep our planet clean, green, and beautiful. 🌏♻️

3. Learn About Sustainability: A CDS teaches you about the importance of taking care of our environment and how small actions, like recycling, can make a BIG difference.
