What are Container Exchange Points?
Container Exchange Points are baskets or cradles attached to general waste bins in public spaces.
Think of them as a Containers for Change bin for the community — when you're out and about, instead of throwing your empty 10¢ container into the next bin you pass, simply drop it into a Container Exchange Point.
How are they used?
Whether you're out for a walk, picnicking in the park, or at the beach, look out for a Container Exchange Point attached to a general waste bin. If your empty container has a 10¢ mark, drop it in! Your 10¢ container can then be collected and returned to a local refund point by whoever wants the refund.
Are you a local container saver?
Anyone can pick up 10¢ containers left at Container Exchange Points and return them for a refund, even you. So if you are out and about and find containers in a Container Exchange Point, consider collecting and returning them so they can live another life.
