Redlands Coast residents can help others in the community share in the benefits of the Containers for Change refund program through a recycling initiative being trialed in Cleveland.
Container Exchange Points have been installed on selected bins in the Cleveland CBD where residents can deposit their eligible bottles and cans for others to collect and cash in at Containers for Change refund points.
Container Exchange (COEX) is trialing the initiative at Cleveland for three months in partnership with Redland City Council.
Residents can participate by dropping their unwanted recyclable containers in any of the 12 marked Container Exchange Points located across the Cleveland CBD and Raby Bay Harbour.
Other members of the public can then collect these items and take them to Containers for Change refund points where they can earn 10 cents for each bottle or can recycled.
Container Exchange Points have been strategically placed in areas where there is either high foot traffic or no recycling option, to ensure maximum impact during the trial period.
Only items normally eligible for exchange through the Containers for Change program, such as plastic and glass bottles, can be placed in container recycling receptacles.
