Labor promise 10 cent refund for wine and spirit bottles under Containers for Change programme

There’s good news for wine and spirit drinkers.

If Labor is re-elected, you will get a 10 cent refund for wine and spirit bottles under the current Containers for Change program.

Currently, most plastic and glass bottles, as well as drink cartons, cans and pouches between 150mL and 3L are accepted for 10c refunds.

According to the State Government, the scheme has so far saved 4 billion containers from landfill.

Labor has also committed $300,000 towards upgrading facilities at Good Sammy’s headquarters in Canning Vale.

“Containers for Change is a great win for our environment, local jobs, community groups and charities looking to fundraise, and our kids learn about the benefits of recycling,” Premier Roger Cook said.

“Western Australians have truly embraced the initiative, diverting billions of containers from waste and helping to generate valuable funds for great local charities and community groups.

“With the inclusion of wine and spirit bottles, the benefits of this fantastic programme will only continue to grow under a re-elected Government I lead.”

Mr Cook said since October 20, Containers for Change has recycled nearly 4 billion 10c containers “returning nearly $400 million to the pockets of Western Australians”.

He said Good Sammy’s Canning Vale base was no longer fit for purpose, committing $300,000 to their redevelopment plans.

“This project will increase training capacity, meaning jobs, traineeships, and development courses for people with disability,” he said.
