Earn cash for cans at our CDS Vic Container Recycling Public Depot  

Recycling is not just a simple responsibility to make a difference for the planet—it can be fun and rewarding too. With our Cash for Cans program under the Victorian Container Deposit Scheme (CDS Vic), turning your recyclables into a source of funds is easier than ever. 

Whether you need to save, fundraise a community project or support a local charity, Recycle4Change can help with our fast and convenient recycling process.  

What is the Victorian Container Deposit Scheme? (CDS Vic)  

Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS Vic) promotes a sustainable solution to manage and transform waste and recycling system in Victoria. For every eligible can, carton, or bottle returned, you will receive a 10-cent refund. You can choose whether to get the refund in cash or donate it to charity, local organisation or sports group.

We even accept some crushed cans.
