A new reverse vending machine has landed in Derrimut.
The newest location for the state government’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) is located at Balmoral Park, 30 Lennon Parkway, Derrimut, and is the 17th site in Brimbank.
The technology scans and verifies each container deposited and provides options to the user to either receive the amount in cash, via digital transfer direct to a bank account, or for the amount to be sent as a donation to a nominated charity or community group.
The CDS Vic West Zone app also allows customers the unique opportunity to donate their container refund to many charities that have joined as charity partners for Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme.
CDS Vic gives charities, community groups, schools, and sporting groups new ways to fundraise by registering as a donation partner.
In Brimbank, groups and organisations are already fundraising with CDS Vic, including VICSES Brimbank Unit, the Brimbank Little Athletics Centre, looking to fund new high jump mats, and the Brimbank Anglican Parish for its solar panel drive.
Residents of Brimbank can also download the CDS Vic West Zone app to check on the live status of their local refund point, verify container eligibility, and manage and track container refunds.
