On Saturday 7th December 2024, NQCC held our famous annual Trivia Fundraiser. What a night!

Nine teams competed in the Belgian Gardens Senior Citizens Welfare Association hall for eternal glory. 

Can you help us fundraise by recycling?

There are two easy ways for you to donate your 10c refund from eligible bottles and cans to NQCC:

• Drop them off at our office, at 114 Boundary St, Railway Estate in the marked garden waste bins (please ensure lids are removed and check here to ensure your containers are eligible for a refund)
• Take them to your closest refund point and quote our ID number: C100 283 66 (This sends your refund directly to our account!)

Background

In November 2018, after some delay (and 41 years after South Australia), Queensland introduced a Container Deposit Scheme, aimed at reducing litter and improving recycling rates.

For NQCC, this introduced itself as an opportunity to help raise community awareness around the benefits of recycling and the dangers of littering (particularly in waterways) while supplementing our fundraising activities.

In the first twelve months of the scheme's operation, NQCC raised over $1,400, thanks to the generosity of our supporters! This continues to be an ongoing fundraiser and we appreciate all of the support we receive. 

Friday 18th October saw our annual fundraising Trivia Night come to life once again, where we got up to some good old-fashioned mischief for a good cause!
