The Shire of Chittering/WARRRL are seeking expressions of interest from community groups, individuals or business organisations within the Shire boundaries, to manage and operate a Containers for Change service/container refund point, thereby participating in Western Australian’s Container Refund Scheme – Containers for Change.

Background

Containers for change is Western Australia’s container refund scheme implemented by Western Australian Return Recycle Renew Limited (WARRRL), which was established on 1 November 2018 to give people an incentive to collect and return containers for a 10-cent refund. The aim is to reduce the number of containers that are littered and increase WA’s recycling rate.
