We’re trialling new Return and Earn bin baskets, funded by the NSW Government, which have been installed on garbage bins in a number of our busy public places and commercial centres.
You can help keep our streets and harbour clean, and contribute to a circular economy, by disposing of your eligible drink bottles and cans in these baskets when you’re out and about. These include plastic and glass drink bottles and aluminium drink cans - which will say "10 cent refundable". Read more about accepted items.
Anyone is welcome to collect the drink containers left in baskets and take them to a Return and Earn deposit location to receive a 10 cent refund!
The baskets make it easier and safer for people to collect containers from bins for redemption.
Local Return and Earn stations can be found at: the Edgecliff Centre, Double Bay Bowling Club, Diamond Bay Bowling Club and Bondi Junction - view a list of locations.
You'll find bin baskets installed at the following locations:
