Return and Earn – It’s feel good recycling!
Hundreds of Australian individuals, families, schools, community groups and businesses have embraced Return and Earn and Vinnies is proud to offer multiple locations across the state.
You can collect the refund from your eligible containers and keep this yourself, or you can donate some of your refund amount to Vinnies.
What is Return and Earn?
Return and Earn is a scheme whereby you collect eligible drink containers, take them to one of our Vinnies depots, and receive a cash refund for your recycling efforts.
Recycle your drink containers and help our Earth
Collecting your eligible containers and taking them to one of our depots is achieving huge environmental wins!
Over the next 20 years it is expected that there will be:
- 1.6 billion fewer containers littered
- Almost 11 billion fewer containers ending up in landfill
- 12.6 billion more beverage containers being recycled
Partner your business or school with us for Return & Earn
Partnering with us is easy and offers your business a strong, well-recognised and loved charity to be supported with. Additionally, this service is provided at no cost to your school, community group or business.
Many organisations have partnered with us given the cost benefit - your garbage disposal costs are greatly reduced as recyclable drink containers are removed from waste stream. Our current partners enjoy and promote their partnership via their corporate sustainability program and by reducing their landfill footprint.
We provide a tax invoice at EOFY for your total donation value. It’s win win!

Donate part of your cash refund to Vinnies and help rebuild lives
When it comes to financial donations, every little bit really does count and it is only thanks to your generosity that we are able to help the thousands of Australians we do every year. So, if you are able to donate some, or all of your refund back to Vinnies, we want you to know that you are doing something truly special, and that your recycling donation helps Vinnies rebuild lives every day.
