Donating your containers to Bendigo Foodshare

Through Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme, you can make a double impact – you will be supporting a more sustainable environment and helping put food on the table for Central Victorians doing it tough.

If you would like to donate your 10c refund from each container you recycle to us, you can:

1. Exchange your eligible containers anywhere in Victoria and choose Bendigo Foodshare as your chosen partner and select the option to donate your 10c refund to us.
2. After collecting at home you can physically bring your containers to our warehouse in Golden Square. Our blue collection bin is available on weekdays from 8 AM to 3 PM in front of our fenced area at our Breen St Warehouse. Once the bin is full, we take it to a local Container Deposit Scheme location, where the funds raised go directly toward supporting our programs and initiatives.
