Caring for Canberra
One container at a time
With the ACT Container Deposit Scheme (ACT CDS), Vinnies’ Caring for Canberra campaign aims to reduce waste while raising funds for our frontline services.
It’s simple.
Instead of discarding all single use drink containers, collect eligible cartons, cans and bottles and ReCollect will do the dirty work for you. For every eligible container collected, 10c will go to Vinnies.
Collecting Containers, Makes Real Change

Your school
“There’s really no reason not to participate. It’s something we can all do to save waste from landfill but also help other people more vulnerable than ourselves.”
Cheryl Hamill – Daramalan College
Your business
“It’s sometimes hard for companies to make an impact by themselves, but through participating in a broader campaign like this, you can be part of a greater thing for the community and environment.”
Stephen Wood – National Convention Centre Canberra
Your community
We’re always better together. Hosting an event? Looking for a way to give back to locals doing it tough? Get your community involved and together we can make an even bigger difference.
Just you
If every Canberran returned just one bottle and donated the 10c refund to Vinnies, that’s over $47,000 to our frontline services and over 470,000 bottles recycled.
