This is Michael with Isla and Liam.

They use the cash they make from recycling containers to go towards holidays, especially those where they see family members.

No matter what you're saving for, come on down and try our drive-in Return and Earn Depot. It's so quick and easy and the cash is in your account there and then by EFTPOS.

Meet Brad, he volunteers at our drive-in Return and Earn depot here in Griffith.

He happily gives up his time to help people recycler their containers and claim back their 10c. He also says he likes coming to work and has a great relationship with the rest of the team.

Our automated depot is much more than just a quick and easy way to claim back all your 10c. It's also a part of the community, with Vinnies being paid a processing fee for every container you bring in, with that money going to help fund our work in the community.

John and Sarah are lucky enough to have 8 grand kids.

They save containers to recycle and claim the deposits back for the grand kids Birthdays and Christmases.

They collect containers wherever they see which is great for the environment, but best of all, they make around $100 for each grand kid, and then generously add a bit extra on top.

They are happy with Vinnies service because its quick and they save heaps of time.

Regardless of what you do with your returns, its quick and easy to claim them at our drive-in automated Return and Earn depot.

Meet Carson, he collects containers to save money to buy his footy gear and toys.

He also astutely, asks his friends and relative if they have some recycle containers for him.

If he sees bottles or cans littering the park near home he picks them up. Which not only helps keep the environment clean but also means more money for more toys. He very good with saving his cash.

No matter why you collect containers, you are always welcome at our Griffith drive in automated Return and Earn depot. It's quick and easy and your full 10c are returned immediately via EFTPOS.
