Check For Eligibility

The Containers for Change initiative was started in 2018 and many containers now display a refund mark, such as “10-cent refund at collection depots in participating State/Territory of purchase.” At our recycle centre in Gordonvale, we accept most aluminium, glass, plastic, steel and liquid paperboard beverage containers between 150ml and 3L.

You can also search the container’s barcode through the Containers for Change eligibility checker to see if it can be recycled. And don’t forget—undersized or oversized containers can still be recycled through the yellow-lidded kerbside collection bins. For all enquiries, get in touch on 0436 663 336.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hire a recycling bin for my business?

Cairns Recycling offers a range of hire and service options that might work for your business. This includes various-sized recycling bins and pick-up services when your bins are full. To find out more, please get in touch.
What is recycling?

Recycling is a process of converting waste materials such as aluminium cans, glass jars and plastic bottles into new items. By recycling, you can keep these items off the street and out of landfill while also reducing the environmental impacts of creating new plastic, glass and aluminium.
What happens when containers are recycled?

Containers are sorted, crushed and baled before being distributed to be recycled. Soft plastics can be made into polyester fibres which are used to make clothing, carpets and other fabrics. Metal containers are melted down to produce steel sheets that are often used in building construction.
Does recycling save energy?

Yes, it does. When we recycle paper, glass and metals rather than putting them into landfill, we are reducing greenhouse gases.
