Containers for Change

The Containers for Change scheme (ran by Western Australia Return Recycle Renew – WARRRL) was designed to help reduce litter, improve recycling rates, create new business and employment opportunities across the State, and also provide a new way for community organisations and charities to raise money.

More information on how the scheme works can be found on the Containers for Change website. Start collecting by checking for the 10c mark on your container. If there is no 10c mark, please place the container in the general waste bin (this includes take away coffee cups). Find your nearest refund point.

The City have also installed Containers for Change exchange points in various locations. The exchange points are in the form of a basket or cradle attached to some of the existing bins. Whilst you are out and about, if you don’t want to take home your 10c container to return to the drop off point, place it in one of the baskets or cradles and let someone else gain or donate the 10c refund.

Some of the locations include:

• Iluka Foreshore, Iluka
• Mawson Park, Hillarys
• Sorrento Foreshore, Sorrento
• Tom Simpson Park, Mullaloo
• Whitford Nodes, Hillarys
• Outside Lakeside Joondalup Shopping Centre (Boas Ave)
