Recycling trailers launched

Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) Vic West Zone operator TOMRA Cleanaway has announced the launch of community events trailers just in time for the summer season, available in partnership with depots across Melbourne’s west.

Designed to make large-scale eligible drink container collection easier and more efficient, these trailers are perfect for sporting groups, schools, community clubs, and public event organisers looking to cash in on refunds while making a positive environmental impact.

Whether you’re organising a footy club fundraiser, hosting a music festival, or planning a community clean-up, the new community events trailers are your ticket to collecting and returning a large volume of eligible containers quickly and hassle-free.

TOMRA Cleanaway chief executive James Dorney said the trailers will make it far easier to recycle during big events.

“We’re thrilled to offer this new resource to community groups and event organisers,” he said.

“Our free trailers not only help increase container refunds but also support local initiatives to reduce waste and promote recycling. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

These trailers provide ample space to collect eligible drink containers, maximising fundraising opportunities or event profits.

Organisers can easily book one of the many trailers available across CDS Vic depots in the nort- west, including in Ravenhall, Melton, Point Cook, Williamstown, and Campbellfield.

TOMRA Cleanaway can be contacted at 1800 237 842 to connect organisers with their local depot operator.

Once booked, the depot team delivers the trailer and bins to the event location and collects them afterward.

The containers are then processed, and refunds are organised, ensuring a seamless recycling solution for any community event.
