Safety and Hygiene Guidelines for Using Return-It Stations

At Return-It, your safety and well-being are our priority as you recycle using our convenient Reverse Vending Machines and Express Collection Points. Follow these essential safety and hygiene guidelines to ensure a safe, pleasant, and community-friendly recycling experience.

Hand Hygiene Practices

Always wash or sanitize your hands before and after using any Return-It recycling machine. This simple step helps prevent the spread of germs and keeps you and other community members safe.

Handling Containers Safely

Be cautious when recycling containers with sharp edges or broken glass. Use gloves if possible to protect your hands. Never force containers into the machines—only recycle items that fit as intended to avoid damage or injury.

Personal Safety Measures

Avoid touching your face while handling recyclable containers. Maintain social distancing practices when others are waiting to use the machines, helping to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.

Reporting and Maintenance

If you notice any spills, damaged machines, or unsafe conditions at any Return-It Reverse Vending Machine or Express Collection Point, please report it immediately. Contact details and further information are available on the Return-It website at www.returnit.com.au/locations.
