Recycle Rewards is Tasmania’s container refund scheme which will commence 1 May 2025.

Recycle Rewards is a Tasmanian Government initiative funded by contributions from the beverage industry. It will offer a 10 cent refund to consumers for returning eligible drink containers at refund points across Tasmania.

The scheme aims to reduce Tasmania’s litter of drink containers by up to half, create new economic opportunities, generate new jobs and turn eligible drink containers into new recycled products.

This is more than a recycling initiative – it’s a powerful new way for our community to reduce waste, earn refunds, and support people in need. Every 10-cent container recycled through our depots helps fund our work and reduce landfill. 

This initiative aligns perfectly with who we are – people helping people. We’re not only making it easier to recycle, we’re offering a chance to do good with every can, bottle or carton. 

Our depots are specifically designed to make it easier, faster and more enjoyable for you to return your eligible containers and collect your refund, over and over again. Our team has been expertly trained to guide you through the process of recycling your containers in our undercover drive-thru's that can do 200 containers a minute. It is the perfect environment for families and groups to see the process in action, learn how the Recycle Rewards depots are benefiting their community and collect their refund faster.

Yes.  We provide on the spot cash refunds for all eligible containers returned to us.

Yes, if you are in a hurry, can you drop-off your containers for us to process. We will tag them and you will receive an electronic refund once they have been processed.

You sure can.  We're about to launch a delivery/collection service to commercial customers.  We'll launch this soon, but in the interim you can email us as cds@citymission.org.au
