1. A cleaner mine site and a cleaner environment
Recycling for Kids helps clear mine sites of scrap metal. It helps mines to put in place a system to deal with onsite scrap metal waste. This creates a cleaner local environment whilst reducing each mine's carbon footprint.

2. A healthier community
Recycling for Kids helps the community in which mines operate through the donation of funds to local hospitals. Funds are also donated to the Royal Children's Hospital in Brisbane, where over half of all patients are from regions outside the Brisbane metropolitan area.

3. An improved working environment
Recycling for Kids motivates mine workers by creating a cleaner mine site where all workers are effectively helping the community they live in and saving kids lives. The program motivates miners to comply with scrap metal policies and procedures, and enables workers from separate divisions to unite for a common cause.
