How You Can Make A Difference

Every container you return isn't just about earning a 10c refund — it's about making a real impact.
By recycling your bottles, cans, and cartons, you're helping reduce landfill, protect wildlife, save natural resources, and support vital local programs like schools, charities, and community events.

Together, one container at a time, we’re building a cleaner, greener future for Central Queensland — and it all starts with you.
Start small. Make a big difference.

Drop off eligible bottles, cans, and cartons at your nearest Refund Station — it’s quick and easy.

Organise a container collection at your school, workplace, or local club to fundraise and create impact.

Encourage friends, family, and colleagues to recycle their containers and join the movement.

Why Recycling MATTERS?

Recycling containers isn't just about refunds — it's about protecting our planet, conserving resources, and building a cleaner future for everyone.

Recycling containers reduces pollution that harms our local wildlife and natural habitats.

Every container recycled means fewer raw materials are mined, saving water, energy, and ecosystems.

Refunds create jobs, support charities, and fund schools — making every return a way to give back.

Recycling today means future generations inherit a cleaner, greener planet to live and thrive on.
