9 months ago by tau to c/canberra

The ACT will expand its 10-cent container deposit scheme, with the changes expected to result in an additional 8 million containers being recycled in the first year.

The ACT's container deposit scheme will be expanded to include 10-cent refunds for wine bottles, spirits and large juice containers.

The government expects the changes will lead to 13 million more bottles being recycled within a few years.

The changes will start from mid-2027 in line with an expansion of NSW's scheme and to allow for industry to adapt.
