CONTAINERS FOR CHANGE × HEALTHY MIND MENU
Your venue already has the containers. Turn them into support.
Give your eligible container refunds to Healthy Mind Menu and help fund mental health and wellbeing initiatives for Western Australia's hospitality industry.
For busy venues, hotels, bars, breweries, events and hospitality groups, the containers already passing through your business can become an easy, ongoing source of impact.
A SMALL CHANGE TO YOUR WASTE STREAM
A potentially big contribution to healthier hospitality.
Hospitality businesses can go through thousands of eligible drink containers every year.
Instead of treating every bottle or can as waste, your venue can direct eligible container refunds toward Healthy Mind Menu.
It is a simple way to turn something your business already produces into funding for mental health education, resources and support for the industry your team works in.
THIS WORKS BEST AT SCALE
If your business goes through a lot of drinks, this is for you.
Pubs & bars
High-volume beverage service means even routine collection can add up over time.
Hotels
Bars, minibars, restaurants, events and staff areas can all create significant container volume.
Breweries & beverage businesses
Turn a natural part of your operation into direct support for the hospitality community.
Events & festivals
A single high-volume event can produce a substantial quantity of eligible containers.
Restaurant groups
Multiple sites can create meaningful impact when container refunds are pooled across the group.
Large workplaces & clubs
Offices, staff facilities and sporting clubs can turn everyday drink containers into ongoing support.
THE BUSINESS CASE IS SIMPLE
You're already handling the containers.
The opportunity is in what happens next.
By building Containers for Change into your venue's normal operations, your business can support HMM without asking customers or staff to make a separate financial donation.
It's practical corporate giving, environmental action and industry support rolled into one.
