Good to go: most drink bottles and cans
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 1 litre and over
- Cordial bottles
