Wine and spirit bottles to join 10-cent recycling scheme, but not for at least a year | Region Canberra

Canberrans will soon be able to recycle wine and spirit bottles for a 10-cent refund, but the expanded scheme won't be operational until at least mid-2027. The ACT Container Deposit Scheme currently accepts most aluminium cans, glass and plastic bottles, juice boxes and flavoured milk that have the 10-cent refund label. From no earlier than mid-2027, this will expand to include wine and spirit bottles, cordials and juices, and larger containers of up to 3 litres that are already part of the scheme (such as flavoured milk). Environment Minister Suzanne Orr said the expansion will reduce waste and improve the recovery and circularity of our precious resources.
