CONTAINER COLLECTION FOR MULTI-UNIT DWELLINGS
Each bottle and can will earn your body corporate or strata title management scheme a 10 cent refund or choose to donate it to a charity or community group. Recycling with Containers for Change means that empties have the opportunity to be given a new life.
IMPROVE WASTE MANAGEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE AND INCREASE RESIDENT BENEFITS
We can make it easy for your building to recycle its containers, helping to meet your sustainability or social responsibility goals. We do most of the heavy lifting and take care of all the upfront costs.*

There are a range of ways you and your residents can benefit from these refunds including:
- Create a sense of community spirit with all residents working together to raise funds.
- Contribute to the building's sustainability initiatives.
- Provide a more convenient way to practice with Containers for Change for residents.
- Raise additional funds to boost sinking and administration funds.
Learn how Bryan is making change in his building
Bryan volunteered to be the container champion for his 250 unit building in West End, encouraging all residents to save and donate their empties. Bins were installed in the basement and he regularly liaises with a local operator to collect the containers, with refunds being donated to a number of international aid charities.
