About Reverse Vending Machines

RVMs are self service machines for returning your containers.

Tips for your visit

Before you arrive:

  • Separate eligible plastic and glass containers to save time at the RVM.
  • Empty all liquids from containers.
  • If you intend to receive your refund via PayPal, download the Return and Earn app.

At the RVM:

  • Please consider nearby residence by returning your containers in an orderly manner.
  • Keep the RVM site clean and tidy.
  • Remember to take your ineligible containers home for kerbside recycling.
