About RecycleForGood

RecycleForGood is a platform that connects households with local collectors to make recycling cans and bottles easier, safer, and more rewarding for everyone.

We leverage Australia's existing 10-cent container deposit schemes to create a win-win system: households get convenient pickups without storing recyclables, and collectors earn income from scheduled, safe collection work.

Our mission is to increase recycling participation, reduce litter, and create flexible earning opportunities in local communities across Australia.

Rio Afero is the founder of RecycleForGood, bringing together experience in technology, community development, and sustainability.

Rio's vision for RecycleForGood emerged from observing two challenges in Australian communities:

• Many households want to recycle but find it inconvenient to store and return containers
• People seeking flexible income often resort to unsafe bin diving practices

RecycleForGood addresses both issues by creating a structured, safe platform that benefits everyone involved—households, collectors, and the environment.

Background: Rio has worked across technology startups, social enterprises, and community programs, always focusing on solutions that create positive social impact while being economically sustainable.

Why RecycleForGood matters to Rio: "I believe technology should make everyday life easier while strengthening communities. RecycleForGood is about more than recycling—it's about creating dignified earning opportunities, reducing waste, and building connections between neighbors. When we make it easy for people to do the right thing, everyone benefits."
