For the first time, the Ekka will provide purple bins for recycling through the Containers for Change Program, raising funds for the RNA Foundation (RNAF). There will be 50 easily accessible purple bins around the Ekka for visitors to recycle plastic bottles and aluminium cans. For every bottle and can recycled, money will be donated to the RNAF. The RNAF raises funds to aid agricultural heritage preservation, agricultural education and agricultural awareness and development.
