Queensland's Containers for Change initiative is one of our most popular recycling programs, offering residents the opportunity to return eligible drink containers for a 10-cent refund. With drop-off points at Qunaba and Bundaberg West, it’s never been easier for locals to participate. Not only does this program help reduce waste, but it also allows individuals and community groups to raise funds for various projects and causes.

By returning containers, you contribute to a circular economy, where materials are reused, reducing the need for new raw materials and minimising environmental damage. Our convenient drop-off locations are open daily, making it easy for everyone to get involved.
