10c Refund Containers
10C refund at sa/nt collection depots.
The number of beverage containers that qualify for a 10c refund has significantly increased since the South Australian Governments ‘Container Deposit Legislation’ came into effect back in 1975. One of the most significant increases is the use of small cardboard containers for flavoured milk and fruit juice drinks.
A Container IS Eligible for a 10c Refund ONLY If the Label Has Either…
“ 10c refund at collection depots when sold in SA ”
or
“ 10c refund at SA/NT collection depots in State/Territory of purchase ”
Any beverage container with one of these markings can be taken to ‘Adelaide Hills Recycling Centre’ for a 10 cent refund; and is one of the best ways to make money recycling, while helping to keep the Adelaide Hills clean and beautiful.
The following chart is a guide as to whether a container is included or exempt from the Container Deposit Scheme.

For wine and wine based drinks, what is eligible for a 10 cent refund is quite convoluted. We suggest you look at the container, label, or call Adelaide Hills Recycling Centre for assistance if you are unsure.
