Container Refund Scheme
On November 1 2018 the Queensland Government began the Containers for Change Container Refund Scheme. With the aim of increasing recycling rates and reducing litter, the scheme allows Queenslanders to exchange eligible drink containers for a 10-cent refund.
Opening on May 30 2019, Rural Contracting Qld's depot is an authorised container refund point for the containers for change scheme. Our professional over-the-counter depot service offers a quick and easy way for you to turn your containers into cash.
