Return & Earn Scheme - Let’s Go Recycling With Travelgirl

Hi Everyone,

There s a new initiative from the Australian government called Return & Earn Scheme is to encourage every day households to do their bit for recycling. Back in the days, we will just put in the recycling bin but many people ignore them and just throw it in the trash bin. The government have now since installed many self service depots for people to put their recycling through themselves and redeem some cash or vouchers. Apart from depots, there are stores you can drop it off but they can only take limited quantities. My aim initially was to go and drop it down to the local shop but unfortunately they were closed so I drove to the depot instead.

Do you have something similar in your city/country?

Tasmania is soon to commence a Container Deposit Scheme here. By all accounts a fair amount of time has been spent reviewing schemes worldwide and trying to piece together the best solution.

I can't wait. Now all we need is more ways to put use to the recycled materials.

its nice TAS is doing something as well. we reallly need to encourage people to do their bit. Even people do, this is extra incentive for people to make the additional effort

My grandson collects bottles and turns his money into litecoin :)
He's in sydney too

turn them to litecoin?? you mean he buys crypto for the money he gets back?

We have recycling plastic bottles in return of some bus ticket fee at metro stations

oooo that is also a great idea. what country do you live in?

Istanbul, Turkey

My opinion is, we can only do so much in recycling and seggregating wastes, more companies should delve with recycling business too!

I agree but I guess this is just a start. I'm sure there are more plans in the pipeworks.

In Germany we have that since many many years. Cans as well. For a big plastic bottle you’ll get 0.25€ which is around 0.40 AUS dollar

Yes to my understanding, Hong Kong also and can also "sell"paper and cardboard boxes too. We need more of these schemes
