There’s Cash
in your Containers!
Get 10 cents for each one
Community Recycling WA Inc. will operate multiple Containers for Change refund points from 1 October 2020, throughout the South-West Metropolitan area and the Peel Region. A key focus for us is to provide outcomes for the environment, local employment and funding to support the growth of community-based programs.
Containers For Change Scheme
Containers for Change is a new state-wide container deposit scheme that lets you cash in eligible containers for 10-cents each.
In WA, we use more than 1.3 billion eligible drink containers each year and it accounts for 44% of litter.
Did you know?
That’s enough drink containers to line a path from Perth to Broome.
Western Australia is the fifth state or territory to adopt a container deposit scheme, following the lead of South Australia, Northern Territory, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and most recently, Queensland.
