Caboolture Container Recycling is your locally owned and family operated container refund point. We started in the Container Refund Scheme upon its commencement in 2018, but we have been servicing the local community with recycling for over half a century.

In 2023, we recycled over 32.5 million containers! That’s over 42,500 cubic meters of rubbish saved from landfill in just 12 months!

Caboolture Container Recycling is one of only a few “Full Service” depots operating in Queensland. Most Containers For Change refund points are either unmanned or only maintained out the back, and you need to do all the work yourself.

Here, we have a team of staff who will do all the hard work for you. Simply load your containers onto our trolleys and we do the rest. Then all you have to do, is just sit back, relax, and wait for the cash to be in your hand almost instantly. No need to constantly feed containers into a hole one at a time, hoping the machine accepts them, with nobody around to assist you if something goes wrong. If our scanners can’t determine the eligibility of a container, we will, and add it on, or hand it back, explaining why it can’t be refunded.

We make it real easy and pay cash on the spot.
As a part of the Queensland Government’s Containers For Change program, we can pay you via your Member Number. This means you can drop your containers any time at both our Caboolture and Morayfield Bag Drop pods.

You can also donate for containers to charity, which is a great way to support your local community.

While we are excited to be a business that actually pays money back to its customers, we are also incredibly proud of the difference we have made to the environment here in Queensland.

All the containers we collect are reprocessed, and the materials are used again in more than just drink containers. This means more local processing, less energy waste, and less rubbish in landfill or litter. Reducing landfill may also help keep Council Rates down, too.

So even if you’re just cashing in your containers for a bit of extra money in your pocket, you are making a difference in a bigger way as well.

Guess What Percentage of Containers are Recycled?

Caboolture Container Recycling was previously known as Caboolture Scrap Metal. We have been recycling materials at our location for over 20 years. We are a local institution with a reputation for friendly and efficient service.

And what keeps us smiling is how much faster we are at processing container refunds than anyone else around.

We now process over 30,000,000 containers per year.

Eligible containers that you can cash in

Most glasses, plastic, aluminium, steel and paper-based cartons between 150ml and 3L
