Container Deposit Scheme

Regions throughout Australia are now benefiting from the establishment of Container Deposit Schemes. These initiatives serve to increase recycling volumes and reduce the amount of recyclable waste that ends up in landfill. To date, established schemes are now running in Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, South Australia and the Northern Territory, with Victoria, Tasmania and Western Australia planned for the near future.

Containers eligible for the scheme include most plastic, aluminium and glass drink containers with sizes between 150ml and 3L, and must be empty, unbroken and display the refund mark. This includes the vast majority of soft drink, pre-mixed alcohol, beer, cider and water bottles and cans. These containers are then diverted from landfill and sent to recycling facilities, where they're recycled into new products.

REMONDIS Online's industry partners can provide bins to collect these containers at your location.
