23.01.2022 Yoo hoo! We have recycled 2 tonnes of bread tags since we started recycling in Australia in February 2019. That's a lot of pesky little tags (about 5.4 million of them) saved from landfill. Well done to everyone who is doing their bit to make it happen!

08.01.2022 Welcome to the bread tag team, Mo. Hey collectors, sounds like an increase in demand!

07.01.2022 Rana Stevanovic of Make Life Easy Cleaning in Andrews Farm in Adelaide has a great idea - she collects bread tags from her clients when she cleans their homes - make it easy for people and they will collect for you! Rana is aiming to fill a 20 litre container with tags.

We've updated our promotional materials - have a look : https://ozbreadtagsforwheelchairs.org.au/downloads/ P.S.

04.01.2022 Michael from Kraaifontein in Cape Town has received his wheelchair. This is the 9th wheelchair provided using funds from recycling Aussie bread tags.

03.01.2022 Roana is the recipient of the 10th wheelchair provided using funds from recycling Aussie Bread Tags. This is the first wheelchair provided via our new partnership with Rotary Algoa Bay in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. We are excited to be working with Rotary in this area as they have established contacts in disability and aged care services and are very enthusiastic about our program. We are hoping this is the first of many wheelchairs we can fund in this region.

02.01.2022 Good article about our recycler Transmutation - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in today's Adelaide Advertiser. It says the bread tags come from Adelaide but we collect nation-wide. Check out the map on our website for your closest collection point : https://ozbreadtagsforwheelchairs.org.au/
