Container for Change 

The Container for Change Refund Point operates at the Bridgetown Waste Facility refunding 10c for each eligible container. This refund point operates as self-serve during the facility opening hours, with residents needing to register for a member number to receive the refund amount via EFT.  

There are also Community Group donation bins on site, for those who wish to donate their refund towards fundraising efforts. This is a great option if you only collect small amounts. 

For more information, queries and to review the list of eligible containers please contact Iggy Van from Purple Plough on cfcbridgetown@gmail.com or 0431 313 436 who operates the refund point.

The Shire is not involved in its operations.
