From 1 November 2023, you will earn 10 cents when you return any eligible can, carton or bottle through the Victorian Container Deposit Scheme.
This financial incentive serves as a reward for responsible waste disposal and actively encourages recycling while reducing littering. By returning eligible containers, participants contribute to a cleaner environment and earn money while doing so.
As well as promoting and encouraging recycling, this scheme will create fundraising opportunities for local businesses, community organisations and sporting groups.
By becoming registered collection points groups can actively participate in the scheme and generate revenue to raise funds for their activities, initiatives, and projects through the collection of eligible containers.
Visy has been appointed as the network operator for Mitchell Shire and is currently planning the locations for collection sites to maximize accessibility and convenience for participants.
To explore the fundraising opportunities offered by the Victorian Container Deposit Scheme and to register your interest to become a collection point, interested businesses, community organisations, and sporting groups must register
The registration process will provide further information on the requirements and benefits associated with participating in the scheme as a collection point.
