Recycle Rewards - Spreyton Depot
Donate to us through Recycle Rewards at our Spreyton Depot and Wynyard Reverse Vending Machine!
Recycle Rewards is a container refund scheme where Tasmanians can recycle eligible drink containers for a 10 cent refund. It increases recycle rates, reduces litter and gives back to the community!
Find us at
Depot: 8 Wigmore Road, Spreyton
Our depot is the best place to drop off your eligible drink containers. You can drive straight up to the door, and our friendly team will quickly sort and process your items. You can then receive your 10-cent per item reward, or choose to donate it to Vinnies!
Reverse Vending Machine: 38 Jackson Street, Wynyard
Our Reverse Vending Machine is a great way to recycle your drink containers yourself. You can also donate to Vinnies while you do it!
How does it work?
Across Tasmania there are now Recycle Rewards depots, where you can go and donate your eligible drink containers. Each donation is worth 10 cents, and you can choose to donate that 10 cents to a charity of your choice, including the St Vincent de Paul Society!
