MAKING CHANGE, ONE CONTAINER AT A TIME
Every 10¢ container contains more than just what you drink. When you return your containers to us, not only are they recycled to live another life, but doing so has an even greater positive impact across the state.
THE IMPACT ACROSS WESTERN AUSTRALIA
In the last three years, WA has saved over 3.5 billion 10¢ containers from general waste.
That's over $350 million in 10¢ container refunds, back into the hands of our communities.
That amount of 10¢ containers is enough to wrap around the Earth over 14 times.
In three years, over $13 million has been donated to schools, charities, and community groups by everyday Western Australians through Containers for Change.
There are over 270 refund points across WA.
Over 890 jobs have been created in WA, through Containers for Change.
BUT OUR WORK ISN'T DONE
530 million 10¢ containers are still lost to general waste every year in Western Australia.
That's $53 million in refunds buried — and millions of 10¢ containers that will not have the chance to be recycled to live another life.

YOUR CONTAINERS REINVENTED
So, what happens to your 10¢ containers after you return them to us?
Accepted containers are sorted into their different material types at the refund point, before being processed into ready-for-sale material.
This material is then sold to accredited recyclers, who use it to make new products, including new 10¢ drink containers.
