Residents across Barwon South West are reaping the benefits of Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS), with more than 71 million containers returned across nine Local Government Areas since it launched in November last year.
The scheme has refunded more than $7 million back to the Barwon South West community which is part of the West Zone operated by TOMRA Cleanaway.
It’s also creating positive flow-on effects for local residents in Terang where disability service provider Cooinda Terang has proven to be much more than a convenient refund collection site for locals to return their eligible containers.
