Containers for Change

Launched on 1 October 2020, the containers for change was launched in Western Australia. There are four (4) different types of refund points available in Western Australia. These are:

• Depots: Walk in or drive through to get your containers counted and refunded on the spot.
• Bag drops: Bags of containers can be dropped off at various locations as a convenient and contact free way to recycle and receive refunds via your scheme ID.
• Reverse vending machines (RVMs):Self-serve by inserting uncrushed containers into an RVM so the machine can count your containers by scanning their barcodes.
• Pop-up refund points: Organised by local operators, these appear at a set time and location for you to take your containers to them.

Getting Started

Get your scheme ID: If you’re new to the scheme or just don’t have one yet, a scheme ID is a great way to receive your refund straight into your bank account.
