Turn used drink containers into value

If your business or workplace generates eligible drink containers, Recycle Rewards provides a simple way to recover refunds and support your community.

Whether you’re running a café, restaurant, office, sporting venue, accommodation or manufacturing business, every eligible drink container is worth 10 cents when returned through Recycle Rewards.

Why Recycle Rewards works for businesses

Many businesses generate a steady stream of eligible drink containers every day. Your business is well placed to participate in Recycle Rewards if it has:

  • consistent volumes of eligible containers
  • central collection points such as kitchens, lunchrooms, bars or staff areas
  • existing waste and recycling systems
  • staff routines that make collection and sorting easy

With the right setup, collecting containers can become part of normal workplace operations.

Choose an option that suits your business

Return containers and claim the refund

Collect eligible containers and return them to a Recycle Rewards refund point.

The refunds can be reinvested into your business or used to support staff initiatives.

Donate your refunds

Want to support your community? You can donate some or all of your refunds to a local charity or community group. It’s a simple way to turn everyday recycling into community support.

Use a container collection service

If your business generates larger volumes of containers, a collection service may be the most convenient option. Our social enterprise operated Recycle Rewards depots operate collection services from Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie.

Collection services operated through Recycle Rewards depots can:

    • Supply collection bins

    • Pick up containers from your workplace

    • Process containers on your behalf

    • Manage refunds and donations

This option allows your business to participate with minimal effort.

Getting started is easy

A simple collection system is often all that’s needed.

Consider:

  • Providing clearly labelled bins for eligible drink containers
  • Helping staff understand which containers can be returned
  • Establishing a routine for storage, collection or returns

Once established, many workplaces find the system runs with very little ongoing effort.

Reduce landfill and make a positive impact

Participating in Recycle Rewards helps your business:

  • Reduce the number of containers sent to landfill
  • Keep valuable materials in circulation
  • Contribute to litter reduction across Tasmania
  • Support local charities and community groups
  • Demonstrate practical action to customers, staff and stakeholders

Every container returned contributes to a cleaner Tasmania.
