Container Exchange Points

Container Exchange Points are baskets or cradles attached to general waste bins in public spaces, installed in partnership with Local Government Authorities (LGAs). 

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. 

Whether you're out for a walk, picnicking in the park, or basking at the beach, look out for a cradle or basket 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. 

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 basket or cradle, consider collecting and returning them so they can live another life.

If you are part of an LGA in WA that would like to participate in the Container Exchange project rollout, we want to hear from you!

For participating LGAs, we provide branded Container Exchange cradles and baskets.
