How it works
The concept
is simple
Get 10c for every eligible drink container you return.
Whether you’re an individual, family, community group, school, charity, multi-unit dwelling or other group, Victorians from across the state are encouraged to bring their eligible drink containers to a refund point in exchange for 10c per item. You can pocket the change or even donate it to a donation partner.
The more containers you return, the more cash you earn, and the more containers you prevent from ending up in landfill.
Step Collect
Your used cans, bottles & paper cartons may be eligible for a 10-cent refund. Tip: Keep lids on and don’t crush your containers
