What containers can I recycle under the scheme?
Most aluminium, glass, plastic, steel and liquid paperboard beverage containers between 150ml and 3 litres.
The container must display the refund mark
Glass
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
Aluminium
Liquid paper board
To be eligible the beverage container must:
Have contained a beverage product that is not excluded from the scheme. For example, cordials and plain milk are not included in the scheme so containers that have held these products are not eligible for a refund
Display the refund mark. This is so that the container refund point operator can see if the container is part of the scheme. Most containers will already have a refund mark for SA and NT and these containers are eligible under Containers for Change.
Some containers are made out of materials that cannot be recycled. These containers may not be approved (by the Queensland Government) as an eligible container as the scheme requires that when a refund is paid on a container that container must be recycled.
Generally excluded containers are those that are less than 150ml and greater than 3 litres.
Other excluded containers include:
- Any plain milk containers
- Any glass containers which have contained wine or pure spirits
- Containers 1L or more which have contained flavoured milk, pure fruit or vegetable juice, cask wine or cask water
- Concentrated/undiluted cordial or syrup containers
- Sachets above 250ml which have contained wine
- Registered health tonics
Excluded containers, such as plain milk bottles and glass wine bottles, can still be recycled through existing kerbside collection or drop-off services.
