What is a Container Deposit Scheme?
A Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) is where you can get cash in hand for empty cans and bottles. It refers to the collection of drink containers at your local Recycling Centre and in return, you will get a cash payment of 10 cents per can or bottle. The types of containers include Aluminium Cans, Plastic Bottles, Glass bottles or Flavoured Milk Cartons.
CDS helps to reduce litter from our streets and our communities and helps to reduce the amount of rubbish being disposed of to landfill.
So start collecting your empty cans and bottles, take them to your closest recycling centre and collect your cash today!

How should the cans and bottles be delivered?
