St Bernard’s Container Deposit Scheme
St Bernard’s has been registered as a charity with the Container Deposit Scheme.
Containers that come under the scheme are : Most aluminium, glass, plastic and liquid
paperboard (carton) drink containers between 150mL and 3 litres are eligible.
You can keep the lids on, we recycle them too.
BUT NOT WINE BOTTLES.
To help identify the appropriate containers, look for the 10c mark on the drink container label. It is often located near the barcode.
To return containers:-
• Parishioners can either download the App and search the Charities in the App for St Bernard’s and make that as the preferred method of payment (the funds will be deposited directly to St Bernard’s parish Account)
St Bernard’s comes under Victoria’s Deposit scheme West and the App is CDS Vic West.
Parishioners can then take the containers themselves to one of the deposit sites
and process them -
OR
• they can store the containers at their home and let the Parish Office know when they have a full bag
e.g. in a large rubbish bag or tub etc.
They can either phone or email the office to advise or to arrange for a collection at the end of each month.
