🎉 BIG NEWS FOR RECYCLING IN THE SOUTH WEST! 🎉

From 1 July 2026, even MORE drink containers will be eligible for a 10¢ refund through Containers for Change! ♻️

You'll soon be able to return eligible:
🍷 Wine bottles
🥃 Spirit bottles
📦 Wine casks & sachets
🍾 Plastic wine containers
💧 Water casks
🧃 Fruit & vegetable juice containers
🥛 Flavoured milk containers
🍹 Cordial containers

(Eligible containers must be between 150ml and 3L)

This is one of the biggest changes to the scheme since it launched and means thousands more containers can be recycled through our depots instead of ending up in landfill.

Not only will this help increase recycling rates across the South West, but it also means more refunds flowing back to local families, sporting clubs, schools, charities and community groups. 💚

We're busy preparing our depots and collection services for the extra volume and can't wait to help you recycle even more from 1 July.

📍 Margaret River - 22 Kinsella Road
📍 Dunsborough - 6 Clark Street
📍 Vasse – 34 Commerce Road

🍷🍸 Wineries, breweries, distilleries, bars, restaurants, accommodation providers and event venues – now is the time to get ready!

From 1 July, wine and spirit bottles will be accepted through Containers for Change, and we're expecting a significant increase in the number of eligible containers being generated across the South West.

MR Refund is currently planning our bin rollout and collection schedules to ensure we have enough bins, trucks and resources in place to support local businesses from day one.

If your venue would like to join our commercial collection service or increase your current service, please get in touch as soon as possible so we can assess your requirements and reserve enough bins for your site.

✅ Regular scheduled collections
✅ No sorting required
✅ Easy SMS booking system
✅ Servicing wineries, hospitality venues, accommodation providers and events across the South West

Whether you're a small cellar door or a large hospitality venue, we'd love to hear from you.

Let's make sure we're ready for the biggest change to Containers for Change since the scheme began! ♻️

♻️ Did you know the glass returned through Containers for Change is so high quality it’s highly sought after for bottle-to-bottle recycling? 🍾➡️🍾

Glass is endlessly recyclable without losing quality, which means every eligible 10c bottle you return helps reduce the need for new raw materials to be mined.

Here's a few fun facts from our recycling partners:

✅ Recycling 1,000kg of glass through Containers for Change conserves more than 1,000kg of raw materials
✅ The energy saved from recycling just one glass bottle could operate a 100-watt light bulb for up to four hours.
✅ Glass placed in household recycling bins is still recycled, but usually into road base or construction materials — not back into new bottles and jars

And from 1 July, even more glass products including eligible wine and spirit bottles will be accepted through our depots, helping increase the amount of high-quality glass being recycled back into new bottles and jars 🍷♻️

By returning your eligible containers through Containers for Change, you’re helping create a true circular economy right here in Australia 🌏💚

Every bottle counts. Every return makes a difference.

See what your glass bottles become part of the circular economy whe...

Containers for Change has never just been about the 10 cents. 💚♻️

Every container returned helps create cleaner communities, supports local jobs, funds sporting clubs, charities and community groups, and gives people a real sense of purpose and connection.

People like super collector Cameron Collects from Pinjarra are a great example of the positive social impact behind the scheme — turning recycling into something that brings communities together and inspires others to get involved.

From kids fundraising for their sports teams, to community groups, schools and individuals making a difference one container at a time, it all adds up to something much bigger than money.

That’s the real power of Containers for Change WA 🌏

We take a look at Mandurah and how the community are making it a better place to live.

With petrol prices, groceries and interest rates all going up… now is the perfect time to start using Containers for Change WA ♻️💰

Why throw that extra change away?

Every eligible drink container is worth 10 cents — and it adds up quicker than you think. A few bags from home, the shed, the office or weekend gatherings can easily turn into extra money for fuel, coffee, school activities or a little help with the household bills.

At MR Refund we make it easy:
✅ Quick drop & go service
✅ Commercial and residential collections available
✅ Easy refunds direct to your member number
✅ Helping keep valuable recyclables out of landfill

Don’t throw money in the bin💚

♻️ A quick note about our green bags ♻️

We love being able to offer our green bags to help make recycling easier for everyone 🙌

However, just a heads up – these bags aren’t free for us. Each one costs us nearly $1, so we kindly ask that customers only take what they need (generally 1–2 bags per visit is perfect).

We’ve noticed they’re being taken a bit quicker than expected, and we want to make sure we can keep providing them for everyone without needing to introduce a charge.

💡 A couple of helpful tips:

Reuse your bags where you can
Only grab a couple at a time
If you have spare bags at home – bring them back into rotation!

We really appreciate your support in helping us keep things sustainable (and affordable!) for the whole community 💚

Thanks legends,
Mrs Refund ♻️
