The amazing Canberra-based charity Lids4Kids has saved more than 110 million lids from landfill since it was started in 2019 by local dad Tim Miller.
Back then, when Tim enquired about where to drop off his thousands of plastic bottle lids, the ACT Government advised him that any piece of plastic smaller than a credit card can't be recycled and had to go to landfill.
He decided that wasn't good enough and started collecting the lids for specialist recycling - something that soon grew into a national movement. The lids are used for recycled items from playground equipment to homewares.
