Your local container return point might be closer than you think
If you’ve never returned your containers, you’re not alone. Maybe it just never felt convenient, or you weren’t sure where to start.
But here’s the good news: with over 380 refund points across Queensland, chances are you’re already passing one on your daily route – maybe near your local coffee shop, gym, or sports ground.

In fact, there are more Containers for Change locations than McDonald's stores in Queensland. That means you’re probably closer to cashing in those empties than you think!
Choose your return style
Returning your empties doesn’t have to be a hassle. Whether you prefer a drive-through depot, a quick bag drop, or an express return point, there’s an option to match your routine. Turning recycling from a ‘hassle’ into a rewarding habit is easier when you pick the right spot.

If you’d rather skip the trip altogether, try Container Collect – a convenient service that picks up your containers from your doorstep, turning your home into the ultimate return point.

Not doing it for the cash? You can also choose to donate your returns to a local charity, school or community group, and make a difference for the environment and community with every container.
