The NSW Container Deposit Scheme, Return and Earn, began rolling out across NSW on 1 December 2017.

• 

• 

Most NSW beverage containers between 150 mL and 3 litres in volume are eligible for a 10-cent refund.

Containers ineligible for a refund under the NSW CDS

Containers that are not included in the Scheme and, therefore, do not qualify for a refund are:

• plain milk or milk substitute containers
• flavoured milk containers of 1 litre or more
• pure fruit or vegetable juice containers of 1 litre or more
• glass containers for wine and spirits
• casks (plastic bladders in boxes) for wine and casks for water of 1 litre or more
• sachets for wine of 250 millilitres or more
• containers for cordials, or concentrated fruit and vegetable juices
• registered health tonics

These exceptions are like those in other State/Territory CDS.

There are more than 600 return points across NSW. Find a return point via the Return and Earn website.
