Happy birthday CDS Vic! 🎂

Billions of containers. 3 years and a huge impact.

CDS Vic turns 3 today and Victorians have plenty to celebrate:
♻ 3.77 billion containers returned
📍 633 refund collection points across Victoria
🥤 71% reduction in littered containers across Victoria
💚 more than $4 million raised through donations
🙌 more than 6,300 donation partners registered
💼 more than 600 jobs created across Victoria.

Every container you returned kept valuable materials in circulation. This:
🔵 supports better recycling
🔵 reduces litter and waste.

When you donated your refunds the impact went even further. They supported local clubs, charities, schools and community groups.

We’re 3 years in, and every container counts. Here’s to the next billion. 🎉
