Get 10 cents for every eligible bottle and can returned
We’re thrilled to partner with Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS Vic) and do our part for the environment and the community.
CDS Vic makes it easy to recycle, and provides a 10 cent refund for every eligible drink container returned.
What You Can Do at the Festival:
If you’re celebrating Lunar New Year with us this Sunday, look out for the special CDS Vic-branded bins to help keep the event litter-free and clean.
The best part? Proceeds from refunded containers at this event will be donated to the KARI Foundation supporting Indigenous communities.
- Look for the 10c mark on your drink bottles, cans, and cartons (usually near the barcode) to learn if they are eligible for return.
- Drop your empty containers into the CDS Vic-branded bins at the event.
- Remember, don’t crush your cans – the barcode needs to be readable! But you can keep the lids on.
More Ways to Get Involved:
- Collect your drink containers at home and return them for a refund or donation.
- Collect drink containers at your place of business, café or restaurant and take them for a refund.
- Visit a CDS Vic Reverse Vending Machine, depot, or participating over the counter site to return your empty containers. To find your nearest refund point, visit cdsvic.org.au/locations.
- Keep your refund or donate it to a participating local school, sporting club or community group via the CDS Vic app.
- Collect drink containers and donate them to your local school, sporting club or community group.
With every eligible container, you’re contributing to a cleaner Victoria and a stronger circular economy. Ten cents adds up fast, so start collecting today!
Together, let’s celebrate the Lunar New Year with a cleaner, greener Victoria! Visit cdsvic.org.au to learn more.
