News Articles for Western Australia Return Recycle Renew

Consumers are paying more for drinks after the introduction of WA's container deposit scheme but the economic regulator says the price increases are reasonable.

As of today, Western Australians can return their eligible beverage containers in exchange for cash at 200 refund locations across the state.

From October 1, Western Australians will be able to exchange their used bottles for cash, but how will the scheme operate?

Western Australians can now see where their closest container deposit refund point will be located, ahead of the scheme's October 1 start date.

Beverage manufacturers have been informed of the prices for Western Australia's container deposit scheme on Friday, with the average price of a container starting at 11.65 cents.
