About Reverse Vending Centres

RVCs are self-service centres with extra capacity for returning your containers.

Tips for your visit

Before you arrive:

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

At the RVC:

  • Have your sorted and eligible containers ready to go
  • Please consider other site customers by returning your containers in an orderly manner.
  • Please keep your RVC site clean and tidy
  • Remember to take your reusable bag or ineligible containers home with you for kerbside recycling.

Upon arrival at the RVC, return your containers one by one into the plastic or glass chute. The machine’s sensors will then assess the container in a number of ways including reading the barcode, and either accept it or reject it based on its eligibility.
