TYPES OF REFUND POINTS
DEPOT
Depots can differ in return style. Some depots have staff who count your 10¢ containers for you, while others will let you scan your 10¢ containers yourself.
Additionally, certain depots may offer drive-through or Drop & Go services.
Depots offer your refund as on-the-spot cash, a bank account payment, or as a donation to a good cause.
Drop & Go
Drop & Go allows you to quickly return your 10¢ containers, contact free.
Bag your 10¢ containers, attach a tag with your member number, and drop it off.
Once collected, your refund will be processed as a bank transfer or donation using your member number payment details.
BAG IT
Place your 10¢ containers in a closed bag (preferably reusable or recyclable).
TAG IT
Securely attach a tag with your member number and name.
DROP IT
We’ll collect your return and process your refund using your member number details.
Self-serve Kiosk
Self-serve Kiosks count your 10¢ containers and scan their barcode to check they are accepted. Just insert your 10¢ containers, one-by-one, and let the Kiosk do the rest!
You will receive your refund as a local grocery store voucher or as a bank transfer or donation using your member number payment details.
As barcodes need to be scanned, crushed 10¢ containers or those without legible barcodes won't be accepted. Some Self-serve Kiosk locations may have a Drop & Go service available to use if you know your 10¢ container is accepted but it won't scan.
Pop-up Depot
Temporary depots can pop up at busy community locations and work just like regular depots. Get your 10¢ containers counted and refunded on the spot, or leave your 10¢ containers to be sorted later and receive your refund as a bank transfer or donation using your member number payment details.

Frequently asked questions

Can container lids be returned?
Lids are welcome – but only if they are removed from your containers. Save your drink container lids separately (it’s a good idea to bag them for ease) and return them for recycling.
Do I bring my own bags and labels at bag drops?
Absolutely. Some bag drops may provide bags and labels, but it’s worthwhile to bring your own, just in case.
Choose a bag that can be closed and attach a tag labelled with your member number and name.
