A NO BRAINER FOR YOUR 10¢ CONTAINERS
In partnership with Local Government Authorities (LGAs), we’re rolling out Container Exchange Points in public spaces across WA.
When you're out and about, instead of throwing your empty 10¢ containers into the next bin you pass, simply drop it into a Container Exchange basket or cradle and save it from ending up in landfill. Just check for the 10c mark — if it’s got it, drop it.
Your 10¢ container can then be collected and returned to a local refund point by another trailblazer (even you)!
CONTAINER EXCHANGE
Drop them
Whether you're out for a walk, picnicking in the park, or basking at the beach, look to see if there is a Container Exchange Point attached to a public bin. If your empty container has a 10¢ mark, drop it off.
Collect them
Are you a local container saver? 10¢ containers left at Container Exchange Points are free to collect and return to refund points, so they can live another life.
Renew them
By putting your empty 10¢ container in a Container Exchange Point, instead of general waste, you save them from landfill so they have the chance to live another life.

PART OF AN LGA THAT WOULD LIKE TO JOIN?
If you are part of an LGA in Western Australia that would like to participate, we want to hear from you!
With half of Western Australians admitting to throwing 10¢ containers into landfill bins while they are out and about, Container Exchange Points are a great way to tackle a prominent recycling issue.
For participating LGAs, we provide branded Container Exchange cradles and baskets, which are attached to public general waste bins.
Any 10¢ containers placed in a Container Exchange Point can be collected by a passer-by and returned to a Containers for Change refund point.
