Container Deposit Scheme
Victoria’s much anticipated container deposit scheme, CDS Vic, began on 1 November 2023.
CDS Vic will allow Victorians to return certain used drink cans, bottles and cartons for a 10-cent refund.
To date over a billion containers have been returned.
There are 3 Return-It depots in Rosebud, Dromana and Mornington together with one in Hastings run by Hoxton Industries. There are also many Over the counter locations across the Peninsula Locations - Return It
