Container Deposit Scheme

The Victorian State Government’s Container Deposit Scheme has arrived in Swan Hill and Robinvale.

The Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) rewards consumers with a 10-cent refund for every eligible drink container that they return.

CDS Vic will provide shared benefits to the community, environment and economy by delivering:

  • more and better recycling
  • less waste - old containers become new ones
  • less litter - cut by up to half
  • hundreds of new jobs and economic opportunities across Victoria
  • a cleaner, greener state.
