HANDY HINT FROM EPOL : And if I may a helpful hint. Put the empty cans and bottles back into their original cartons if you can. They count them alot quicker that way and you are not held up at the collection point while they do individual can counts. When we went down there at Emu Park (was a hot tuesday morning) and had to wait in queue for at least 30 minutes. Ours were boxed and it took us all of two minutes. Plus if there is a mob there and it looks like a long wait bear in mind there is no shade or seating. “We cooked down there in our time in the queue”
What containers are eligible for a refund?
A thorough list of eligible containers can be found here >
So why are some beverage containers not eligible for a refund? The container refund scheme aims to reduce the amount of beverage container
litter in the environment. The containers that are eligible for a refund are those that are most commonly consumed away from home and make up the majority
of container litter in the environment. For example, excluded containers that have held plain milk or wine are commonly consumed in the home, and can
still be recycled either through existing kerbside collection or drop-off services. If you are unsure if it is eligible still bring it down and we
will let you know.

Do I need to remove lids from containers before taking them to the Kanga Bins Container Refund Point?
Lids should be removed from beverage containers before taking them to a Kanga Bins Container Refund Point. Plastic tops are usually made from a different
plastic than the bottle and are labelled as a contaminant. Separating the plastics reduces the level of ‘contamination’ which makes for better recycling
outcomes. Removing the lids will help with the crushing of containers at processing facilities Leaving lids on containers can cause problems with transport
and storage.
