We have started to collect and would love for any members and local businesses to also collect for us. We have a yellow lid wheelie bin for approved containers to be placed into, along with a normal bin on the club veranda.

One of our volunteers will be taking the containers to a collection point from November to swap for cold hard cash to benefit the club. We will earn 10c for every approved container. For those who take their containers to a collection location themselves and would like the funds to go to our club, please quote our:

 Clubs Scheme ID: C10005001

This is yet another way our club is doing our bit to look after the environment.

The Container Refund Scheme accepts most aluminum cans, plastic drink bottles, flavoured milk bottles, liquid, paperboard, glass bottles like stubbies between 150ml and three litres are eligible for a refund when returned to a container refund point. To be eligible the beverage container must:

• Have contained a beverage product that is not excluded from the scheme. For example, wine, spirits, cordials and plain milk are not included in the scheme so containers that have held these products are not eligible for a refund
• Display the refund mark. This is so that the container refund point operator can see if the container is part of the scheme. Most containers will already have a refund mark for SA and NT and these containers are eligible under Containers for Change. Beverage manufacturers have until 1 December 2019 to display the new refund mark on their containers
• Be an approved container. Some containers are made out of materials that cannot be recycled. These containers may not be approved (by the Queensland Government) as an eligible container as the scheme requires that when a refund is paid on a container that container must be recycled.
