Introduction
Return-It is committed to making recycling easy and accessible across Australia through the Container Deposit Scheme (CDS). Many people wonder whether special or limited-edition beverage containers can be recycled using Return-It’s services and if there are any restrictions. This article answers these frequently asked questions to help you recycle correctly and contribute to environmental sustainability.
Eligible Containers for Recycling
Return-It generally accepts all eligible drink containers bearing the Container Deposit Scheme refund mark. This includes most aluminum cans, glass bottles, PET plastic bottles, and liquid paperboard containers. Accepted container sizes range between 150ml and 3L.
Recycling Special or Limited-Edition Packaging
Special or limited-edition beverage containers are accepted provided they have the Container Deposit Scheme refund mark and conform to the size and material guidelines outlined above. This means promotional bottles or cans released for events or campaigns can usually be recycled and refunded through Return-It services.
However, novelty or collectible containers that do not bear the refund mark or are made from non-standard materials might not be eligible. Such containers may not qualify for refunds or recycling under the scheme.
How to Confirm Eligibility of Your Containers
To ensure your special or limited-edition containers qualify for recycling and refunds, check for the following:
- Presence of the Container Deposit Scheme refund mark on the packaging.
- Container size between 150ml and 3 litres.
- Material type consistent with accepted categories, such as aluminum, glass, PET plastic, or liquid paperboard.
