GOOD TO GO:

These containers are most commonly found as litter in NSW. They’re often consumed ‘on the go.’
  • Cans (e.g. soft drinks)
  • Bottles ( e.g. beer bottles)
  • Cartons
  • Juice boxes or poppers

Most containers between 150ml and 3 litres are accepted and can get you a refund. However, they must…
  • Be in good condition (not be crushed or broken)
  • Be empty
  • Have the label attached

NO GO: items that are not refundable

These items aren’t accepted, but can still go into household recycling. They’re often used at home.
  • Milk containers
  • Glass wine bottles
  • Glass spirit bottles
  • Juice bottles over 1 litre
  • Cordial bottles
