The container deposit scheme aims to reduce waste to landfill and litter by offering a 10-cent deposit on most drink containers. The 10-cent deposit is refunded when the drink container is returned.
Many schools in WA have set up a physical or virtual donation point at school to collect eligible containers and raise funds for the school community or another charity using the 10-cent deposit per container.
