Deposit waste. Earn points.

Segregate at home and drop it at a Trash Deals point. Once it is checked and weighed, the weight becomes Craze Points.

From bin to balance

Step 1

You segregate

Clean, dry and sorted by type before it leaves home.

Step 2

Drop it in

At a drop point that takes that material. Each one lists what it accepts.

Step 3

We check and weigh it

Your deposit is checked for sorting, weighed and recorded.

Step 4

Weight becomes points

Each kilogram earns points at the rate for that material.

Step 5

Points reach your account

They are added once the deposit is verified. Spend them on the shelf.

Questions

Who collects the waste after I drop it off?

The Trash Deals team collects deposits from each drop point. We will publish where collected material goes once those arrangements are confirmed and documented.

What if I bring mixed waste?

Mixed or unsorted waste is not accepted and earns no points. Staffed centres can show you how to segregate at home, so your next visit takes a minute.

Do points expire?

Not during the pilot. Your balance carries over until you spend it, and we will give clear notice before that ever changes.

Can my college or office get a bin?

Not through the website yet. When colleges and offices can ask for a drop point of their own, this page will say how.

The shelf is waiting

Once your deposit is verified, spend your points on coupons from local shops, a workshop seat or a coconut shell product.
