Customs House Hotel, Inclusive Innovations Tasmania (IIT) and Social Enterprise, Employment and Diversity (SEED) have joined forces to leverage the Recycle Rewards Scheme (RRS), turning eligible containers into funding that will help grow Blind Cricket Tasmania (BCT) across the state.

SEED is a social enterprise running Tasmania’s biggest recycling depot in the South of the state. Their recycle container collection service also creates paid employment opportunities for people living with disability, making this partnership a true win-win for community inclusion.
Customs House owner, Paul Jubb, jumped at the opportunity to redirect containers from the pub to support IIT and BCT, backing a simple idea with real impact…
“When Sunny told me their BLV Cricket ‘Tigers’ representative team was looking for support, and could even arrange pick up of the containers, I jumped at the chance to help them out.”
We’re incredibly grateful for Paul’s support and shared vision in helping make inclusion mainstream through sport, and showing how local businesses like his can play a meaningful role in helping build sustainable, accessible sports opportunities for people living with vision impairment.
Thanks also to SEED, who are a key partner in bringing this initiative to life.
That’s real teamwork in action!
