CHECK FOR THE 10¢ MARK
It's easy to save your 10¢ containers from general waste so they can live another life — just check for the 10¢ mark!
Most plastic and glass bottles, as well as drink cartons, cans and pouches, that are 150ml to 3L are accepted.
This includes:
• Most single-serve water and fizzy drink containers up to and including 3L.
• Most single-serve alcohol containers, like beer bottles and pre-mixed spirits.
• Flavoured milk containers that are 150ml to 999ml.
• Coconut water, pure fruit, or vegetable juice containers that are 150ml to 999ml.
Make sure you take off the lids — we recycle those too, just separately.

Proposed Scope Expansion
The State Government has announced plans to expand our range of accepted containers in their next tenure.
Until a launch date is announced by the government, there is no change to what is currently accepted by our refund points and collection services.
INTRODUCING OUR APP
Use the built-in-scanner to check if your 10¢ containers can be returned to a Containers for Change refund point.
No 10¢ mark? No worries!
Australian states and territories run their own container deposit scheme to best serve their communities.
We all use the 10¢ mark, so there are rare instances where you may find a container with the 10¢ mark that is not yet accepted in Western Australia.
We are continuously expanding in WA, so if we do not accept a container, you can still do the right thing by disposing of it in your residential recycling bin.
Visit Waste Sorted for more information.

CHANGE STARTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY
Every 10¢ container has the potential to do good.
If a charity, local group, or school is registered with Containers for Change, you can choose to donate your refund straight to them.
