Deposit collection for the Red Cross
Infinitum has a scheme that gives the Norwegian Red Cross rescue teams the opportunity to earn money by collecting bottles and cans. All the deposit money collected goes directly to the rescue teams' local work.

About the scheme
Infinitum’s scheme makes it easy for rescue teams across the country to collect deposits – even in areas far from the nearest shop. Collection containers are placed in cabin areas and popular outdoor spots, so more people can return their deposits where they are.
Since 2001, more than 100 rescue teams have participated and collected over NOK 20 million for local work.
