There are multiple ways to receive your 10c refund. You can choose to keep your refund, or support your favourite community organisation with a donation.
Retail Vouchers
When you use a Reverse Vending Machine you can use the options on the touchscreen to print out a retail voucher for the full refund amount at the end of your return transaction. The voucher will be printed instantly and no personal details are required.
A retail voucher is typically for participating supermarkets like Coles or Woolworths. You can use it at the checkout to save on your next shop, or exchange it for cash at the supermarket service desk. (at participating stores)
Electronic Payments
If you use the Recycle Rewards app you will be able to receive your refund directly into your bank account via an electronic funds transfer (EFT). Your refund will go straight into your nominated account. PayPal may also be available at some refund points.
Cash
Many depots, over-the-counter and pop-up refund points can offer your refund in cash after they count your eligible drink containers on the spot.
Donations
There are several ways to donate your 10c refund to local charities and community groups.
Donate your refund on the spot
You can find a registered charity or community organisation to support at your local refund point. Simply press “donate” at the conclusion of your refund transaction and choose from the nominated charities on the screen.
Donate your refund via the Recycle Rewards app
You can choose to support a specific charity via the Recycle Rewards app. You can browse donation partners quickly and easily on the app, or use our Donation Partner search tool (coming soon).
