There are some beverage containers that are not eligible for a refund. Generally excluded containers are those that are less than 150ml and greater than three litres. Other excluded containers include:

• plain milk containers

• Wine bottles; pure spirits

• Containers 1L or more which have contained flavoured milk, pure fruit or vegetable juice, cask wine or cask water

• Concentrated/undiluted cordial or syrup containers

• Sachets above 250ml which have contained wine

• Registered health tonics

Excluded containers, such as plain milk bottles and glass wine bottles, can still be recycled through existing kerbside collection or drop-off services.
