Become a volunteer

Give an hour.
Grow a forest.

Qoqnoos turns Amsterdam's bottle deposits into planted trees. Our volunteers make the connection — collecting containers from neighbours, on hours they choose themselves.

How it works

Four steps, from your first hello to a tree in the ground.

Apply & say hello

Fill in the form below. We invite every applicant for a short, friendly chat — no CV, no paperwork.

Set your own hours

In your volunteer panel you add the weekly time slots that fit your life. Change or pause them whenever you like.

Collect nearby

Neighbours book your slot. You confirm, meet them with your pickup code, and collect their containers.

Return & plant

Return the containers at any supermarket, pass the deposit on to Qoqnoos — and it becomes trees, tracked on every member's dashboard.

On your terms, always

This is voluntary work in the truest sense. You decide when, where, and how often — Qoqnoos runs on goodwill, not obligation.

Your schedule is yours. Add, edit, or remove your slots at any moment — no questions asked.
Nothing is binding until you confirm. A booking is only a request — sick, busy, or too far away? Simply decline it.
Pause any time. Exams, holidays, life — one switch pauses your slots without deleting them.
Every cent is visible. Deposits you pass on appear in the public ledger — members see exactly what their bottles became.
