What’s Eligible?
Most beverage containers (larger than 150ml and smaller than 3L) that are made from aluminium, glass, plastic, steel and liquid paperboard are eligible for a 10c refund when returned to a TOMRA Containers for Change refund point.
Do not crush the containers or remove the labels as our scanners will need to identify the shape, label and barcode to register the refund. You can leave lids on when returning your containers.
