The depots are equipped with automated counting machines and friendly staff to make the process quick and easy. All eligible containers, sized between 150ml and 3 litres, carry a ’10c’ label.

But the real game-changer is the CDS Vic North App. Available for download, the app lets users register their bank details, receive digital refunds instantly, donate to a charity, and even check container eligibility through an inbuilt scanner. Of course, you can still get paid in cash if you want.

This success story is a testament to FOOTT’s ability to take on big projects and succeed, contributing positively to our local communities. For more information visit https://www.foott.com.au/cds-vic/ or pop in to the local depot at 10 Carroll Road, Shepparton East, VIC 3631.
