Victoria Container Deposit Scheme, Vic Container Deposit Scheme

Victoria Container Deposit Scheme, Vic Container Deposit Scheme is now live so I've produced a map showing the location of container collection points. Most of the collection points around me are OTC (Over The Counter) collection points. A local milk bar for example. It will be interesting to ask them a few questions such as, how many containers are considerable a reasonable number for OTC returns.

I'm looking forward to trying out one of the automatic vending machines, but unfortunately, they're location too far away.

It's important to keep in mind making a special trip to even your closest collection point may not be viable for dropping off a smaller number of contains. For example, our nearest collection point is a 5km return trip, which is over a dollar of petrol usage at current prices. That's 10 containers before you start getting your money back.

Another thing to note is vending machine don't give you cash, whereas OTC points cash is an option.

I hope others find the map and the above information useful.
