Parents & Citizens' Association Queensland has put forward a plan to raise more money for state schools through the container refund scheme that is set to start in November this year.
The organisation is proposing that rather than pocketing the 10 cent refund given from recycling a container, people donate the refund to a Queensland state school of their choice.
P&Cs Queensland estimates this scheme will raise tens of millions of dollars in extra funding for Queensland state schools if recycling collection points are installed on school campuses.
