THE SIMPLE PART
Workplace container recycling.
We handle the collection.
One collection point is all it takes to get started. A practical recycling routine that fits around your workplace.
Make a little space.
We arrange a clearly labelled collection point for eligible 10¢ drink containers in your lunchroom, office or shared space.
Leave the collection to us.
Your team drops in their empty containers. We agree a pickup schedule and handle collection, sorting and return for recycling.
See the good add up.
You receive a simple monthly summary of containers returned and the contribution generated for your nominated charity or community organisation.
A LOOK AT THE COLLECTION POINT
A place for empties.
Designed around your team.
We’re developing a branded collection station that looks at home in a workplace and makes servicing straightforward. Here’s the direction we’re exploring.
Recognisable at a glance.
A forest-green and white finish, clear 10¢ branding and a dedicated opening help staff identify the collection point. Replaceable signage can explain eligible containers and the workplace’s chosen cause.
Access from the front.
The proposed service door opens to release an inner trolley, so the outer enclosure stays in place. This replaces the lift-off shell in our initial concept; door clearance and trolley access still need testing.
Check the fill level.
A narrow viewing strip and translucent inner container are intended to make fill levels easier to see. Removable inner parts and a proposed drip tray would support routine cleaning.
What we’ll confirm before your trial
Available bin design and capacity, its footprint and opening height, servicing clearance, secure placement, cleaning responsibilities and pickup access. The custom concept still needs checks for stability, caster brakes, sharp edges, pinch points, liquid containment and handling loads. It is not a certified product specification.
Our first trials can use a simpler, clearly labelled collection bin agreed with your site. The custom enclosure is a development direction, not a promise of the pictured equipment at launch.
Start with the right setup for your space.
Tell us about your lunchroom or shared area. We’ll agree the collection point before anything is installed.
FROM YOUR BIN TO SOMETHING BIGGER
A little from everyone.
More support
for someone.
Every accepted container returns 10¢. We contribute 1¢ of that refund — 10% — to the registered charity or community organisation your workplace nominates.
If you choose a food-relief organisation, your combined contribution can support its work helping people access food. The charity determines how funds are used.

GIVE THE RIGHT CONTAINERS A SECOND CHANCE
A little sorting.
A much better return.
Look for the 10¢ refund marking and check the official CDS Vic container eligibility guide.
Usually welcome
Eligible drink containers such as water and soft drink bottles, aluminium drink cans, and selected glass bottles and cartons.
Check the label — material alone does not establish eligibility.Leave these out
General rubbish, food scraps, coffee cups and containers outside the scheme. Plain milk containers and glass wine or spirits bottles are generally excluded.
Keep the collection point for eligible drink containers only.Before you drop it in
Empty the container. Leave it uncrushed so its label or barcode can be checked. Lids can stay on.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Clear from
the start.
Is the service really free?
There is no service fee for a participating workplace. The program is funded by the container refunds. We confirm your collection point and pickup arrangements before starting.
How does the 30-day trial work?
We start with one agreed collection point, arrange pickups and assess the container volume with you. At the end of 30 days, we discuss whether ongoing collection suits your workplace. There is no long-term commitment.
Which containers can we collect?
Collect eligible drink containers accepted by Victoria's Container Deposit Scheme. Check for the 10¢ refund marking and the official eligibility guidance before adding a container. Empty containers, leave them uncrushed and keep other rubbish out of the collection point. Lids can stay on.
How is the 10% contribution calculated?
It is 10% of the refund proceeds actually received for your workplace's accepted containers, before our operating costs. For example, $100 in refunds generates a $10 contribution. Your impact summary records the containers and contribution generated.
Can we choose the cause?
Yes. Nominate a registered charity or community organisation. We confirm the recipient and contribution arrangements together before the trial begins.
What does our team need to do?
Provide an agreed space for the collection point, tell staff what belongs in it, and allow access for scheduled pickups. We take care of the sorting and returns.
ONE BIN. THIRTY DAYS. SEE WHAT ADDS UP.
