Resi -Bin

Do you struggle with the time to go to a container refund depot? Hate the long queues and the waiting but still want to earn money recycling your containers? Getting on in years? Or simply haven't thought it worth the effort? Then you need a Resi-Bin. A Resi-Bin is a collection point for your 10c eligible containers at home. For one low yearly cost, you get the bin and 26 collections (as you book them) throughout the year

The Resi-Bin is a great way for households to collect their eligible containers throughout the year without having to go down to their local Containers For Change depot. The Resi-Bin is the same size as a typical council bin (240L) and will hold approx 300 cans or 280 stubbies when full. Once the subscription is paid, there are no further costs involved in the collection service. You will receive the full 10c for each and every eligible container in the bin. Ineligible containers will not receive a rebate.

Resi-Bin is a great way to get your family involved in recycling and bring in some extra money into the household. The average house would need a collection each fortnight. This would see the subscription paid off within the first month leaving the other 11 months as straight profit.

Maybe you are looking for ways for your child to start their own business? Resi-Bin is a great way to get them started. Let them borrow the subscription fee. Have them pay it back over an agreed period of time and get them out collecting. Every child has a neighbor/ family friend/ grandparent with 10c eligible containers. Even a walk down the street or through the park will bring in product. This will give them many great lessons in sales, money handling and interpersonal relationships. Things they don’t learn in school.

You can have as many bins as you like. The yearly cost for one bin is $50 paid in advance. $90 for 2 bins and $40 for each additional bin thereafter. Within that fee is 26 collections per year when you need them.

Signing up for a bin is simple. Just fill in the form below and an invoice will be emailed to you. Once the payment is received, the bin will be delivered. Once your bin is full, simply text the number on the bin with your name and address and a clean, new bin will be delivered for the collections to begin again. The full bin’s number will then be recorded at collection time and then taken back to our depot at Loganholme for counting and payment processing. Payment is only through a Scheme ID (eg C1234 5678) where the money can be received either into your bank account or into your Paypal account; it’s your choice.

If you don't have a scheme ID, no problem. It's free to sign up and takes less than 5 minutes. Just go to www.containers forchange.com.au and Sign Up. Once the bin contents are counted you should receive your money within 2 business days. So you know the rules, be sure to read our Terms and Conditions. This is really important to ensure we are both on the same page and both parties’ expectations line up.
