We recycle really well, I once read somewhere.

It was recently debated in Queensland to raise the deposit for the Containers for Change program but that didn’t happen. Sucks because I got wind of it and banked my containers for a double bonanza.

Spose I better get down and cash these in.

They should extend this program to a number of other containers like milk and detergent bottles. Unfortunately what qualifies for refunds is governed somewhat by the companies involved in the program. For us to get other plastic containers involved would require those companies to get on board as well.
