A cash-for-cans and bottles scheme to combat Victoria’s recycling and waste crisis will be introduced by the state government. The reward program collects drink bottles and cans from commercial industry and consumers, who could recoup 10¢ per drink by returning containers to a drop-off point. The scheme will be made public within the month, but it won’t be operational until 2023. Victoria had been the only state or territory in Australia without a container deposit scheme or a plan to introduce one, but government insiders have confirmed an announcement is imminent.
