There are a few easy ways to return your eligible containers and collect your 10c refund. Each refund point is a little different, read below so you can choose what suits you best
Cash-Back Depot
Depots are large, staffed recycling centres where our team is ready to help.
They’re built for all return sizes from a few containers to carloads. With walk-in, drive-through, fast-counting, or material-counting services, depots make recycling quick and efficient. They never fill up, so there’s no need to book ahead. Get instant cash, electronic refunds via bank account or choose to donate all at one convenient location plus a smile.
Bag Drop
Bag Drops let recycling fit easily into your day. Pre-register once for a Containers for Change Scheme ID and you're ready to go.
How it works
