Containers for Change WA has now launched in Pingelly! When you recycle with Containers for Change, you get a 10 cent refund for every eligible container you return. There are two collection points available in Pingelly. One is available at Pingelly Exchange Tavern where you will keep the refund, with another set up at the Pingelly Recreation and Cultural Centre where your refund will form a donation.
To get started you will need a Scheme ID here. Setting up a Scheme ID will enable your refund to be deposited into your bank account. The next step is to collect eligible containers which include aluminium, glass, steel and paper (milk and wine bottles are ineligible for a refund).
Place your containers in your own biodegradable bags. Label your bag by either writing your Scheme ID and name inside the bag, or use labels from the collection point. Then simply drop your at the collection point and once a week a Containers For Change representative will collect the items for processing. Af this point the refund takes up to 3-5 business days to appear in your bank account.
More information is available by calling 13 42 42, or visiting the website here.
