Return your bottles and cans for RecycleSmart credits

Victorian and NSW residents can exchange eligible drink containers for 10 cents through the container deposit scheme. The government introduced this initiative to increase recycling and reduce litter. NSW have already returned 10 billion containers through their return and earn scheme since 2017.

Eligible containers include:

  • Non-concentrated fruit or vegetable juice

  • Flavoured milk

  • Beer

  • Soft drink

  • Mixed spirits

Love the idea but can’t find the time to visit a return point? You can place your 10c bottles and cans (all containers eligible to the VIC Return & Earn scheme) together with your other items in your bags. 

We will credit your account with the 10c refund from those cans and bottles so you can use it towards your next Power Pickup. 


Credits are visible in your account in the credits section. They are automatically applied when you book a Power Pickup. 

We collect any can or bottle with this image on the back, like beer bottles, soft drink cans etc. The item just has to be in good condition (not crushed), be clean and have the label attached.


Give us your bottles and cans next time with your soft plastics, clothes, shoes, e-waste and more!
