Recycle For Cash will provide to you with the legislated refund amount for each eligible container you return through the Service, which is ten (10) cents as at the “last updated” date of these Terms and Conditions. Recycle For Cash will charge a service fee of five (5) cents per eligible container, which will result in a net payment to you of five (5) cents per eligible container returned.
Alternatively, participants may select a no payment required option. In this instance, Recycle for Cash charges participants a ten (10) cent service fee per eligible container, which will result in a net payment of zero (0) cents per eligible container returned.
These fees may be changed from time to time, as shown in the most recent version of these Terms and Conditions. Information on eligible containers in your jurisdiction can be found on the Recycle for Cash online platform(s).
The minimum quantity of eligible containers that Recycle For Cash will accept for a single pickup is one hundred (100) eligible containers. If it is found that a single pickup contains less than one hundred (100) eligible containers, we reserve the right to withhold the refund amount on that pickup. This minimum quantity allowance may be changed from time to time, as shown in the most recent version of these Terms and Conditions.
When garbage or non-eligible containers are mixed in with refundable containers, it makes the container refund process extremely inefficient, time consuming & messy. It is essential that you keep garbage separate from your refundable containers to keep the Recycle For Cash system running efficiently. If a nominated driver suspects that garbage is present within a bin/bag, they may refuse to pick up the bag and therefore those containers will not be processed.
We reserve our rights to back-charge any disposal/tipping fees for ineligible containers which results in over five (5) percent of the overall quantity picked up on any one day from your location. Additionally, any other common rubbish items found inside your bags may also attract this disposal charge. This charge will be at invoice cost plus a ten (10) percent handling fee and will be taken out of the refund amount in the first instance, for ease of administration. You will be contacted prior to this fee being charged.
A secure online account will be created when you register through our online platform(s). The email address you provide during registration will be used as your unique account identifier. You will use your email address as a login for access to our online platform(s), and will be used to represent your online account.

A nominated Containers for Cash driver will pick up the containers and transport them to another location where they will be counted and sorted. Container counts and deposit values will be credited to your online nominated Australian bank account or directly to your nominated Australian registered charity.
After scheduling a pickup, you will place the bin or bin/ bags of containers outside your home on the morning of the pickup by no later than 8:00AM, providing specific instructions on where to find the bin/ bags during the scheduling process,, if necessary. The bag(s) must be placed in a secure and safe location. All pets or other animals must be kept secured. The Driver may refuse to collect the bag(/s) if they do not feel safe at the pickup location. The Drivers will drive use a predetermined pickup route, depending on schedule availability, to collect the containers. During each pickup, the driver will uniquely label your bags of containers.
Once the scheduled pickups have concluded for the day, the driver will transport all customer bags , to a sorting and counting location. Your containers will be counted within a few business days of pickup. You will be notified via our online platform(s) once your containers have been counted. Your account will then show your deposit amount on all eligible beverage containers found for that pickup. Depending on your banking institution, payments may take up to two (2) business days to process.

We will do our utmost to ensure your container counts are accurate. Containers may be counted manually or via automated counting systems.

All counts are considered final; however, you can contact us for further information if you have a query relating to final quantities, and we will use all reasonable efforts to resolve your query.
We are able to offer efficient and convenient pickup services by not requiring customer hand-off of containers on pickup. However, this creates a potential opportunity for theft.
