The Northern Territory has had a Container Deposit Scheme in place for a number of years, and Territorians are encouraged to return eligible containers to an approved Northern Territory Collection Depot and receive 10 cents per container.

The Northern Territory Container Deposit Scheme [CDS] is managed by the Northern Territory Environment Protection Authority [NT EPA] under the Environment Protection (Beverage Containers and Plastic Bags) Act 2011.

All approved containers will have one of the following approved 10-cent refund markings on the label:

• “10c refund at collection depots/points in participating State/Territory of purchase”; or
• “10c refund at SA/NT collection depots in State/Territory of purchase”; or
• “10c refund at collection depots when sold in NT”.

Approved containers can be return for a 10-cent refund if they are:

• not crushed;
• clean;
• have no lids on them; and
• are sorted into material types.

The complete list of regulated containers can be found here.

There are a number of Collection Depots in the Northern Territory and more information can be found here.
