October 29th, 2024Opening hours extended for CDS machine at Creswick

The Container Deposit Scheme machine in Creswick will be now open both Saturday and Sunday 9am – 5pm (for a three-month trial) giving locals who are keen to recycle more time to bring their eligible drink containers.

The Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) is a Victorian Government initiative that provides a 10-cent refund for every eligible drink container returned.

Before anyone who wants to recycle visits the machine they can download the CDS Vic West app from the Apple App Store or Google Play for a seamless experience, however this is not necessary in order to use the machine.

It’s worth nothing, though, that the machine needs to read the barcode on each container that is returned for recycling, so it’s important not to crush any containers.

Current locations for the machines in the Hepburn Shire region are:

Clunes IGA, 1 Service St, Clunes

Creswick – The Hub, 68 Albert Street, Creswick

Pig & Whistle, 705 James Lane, Trentham East

Daylesford Industrial Estate, 37-39 East Street, Daylesford
