Bread Tags for Wheelchairs 

Don’t discard or lose the tag when you open a fresh bag of bread or potatoes! Kindly hold onto them and let's come together to raise funds for those in need of wheelchairs in South Africa, who are unable to afford their own. 

Start collecting! Save all of your plastic bread tags and ask friends and families to get on board and put their own aside for you. You can also visit local cafés, canteens and other places and get them on board to save along with you! 

The bread tags are given to recyclers who make a donation for the tags, which in turn raises the funds for the wheelchairs. In Australia, our recycler is Transmutation who are located in Robe, South Australia. Depending on the recipient’s needs, the amount of bread tags needed to fund one wheelchair varies however it takes around 250 kgs of recycled bread tags to raise enough funds for an entry level wheelchair. As the bread tags are being recycled anyway, broken tags can be donated (but please clean any food residue off them). 

Australians have donated a whooping 2,657 kgs of bread tags to date! 

Please bring your collected clean bread tags into your classroom. 

The class who collects the largest amount of plastic tags at the end of Term 3, 

will win a class prize.
