Cash In Your Containers Here
Caboolture Scrap Metal is your local Authorised Exchange Centre. Queensland started its Container Refund Scheme (CRS) on the 1st November, 2018. In 2019, we processed an amazing 26,000,000 containers – proof that we are the fastest and easiest recycler around. We wont waste your time.
We are ready to start collecting your empties and paying you cash in return. 10 cents for every container can add up quickly.
A lot of containers are eligible but some won’t be – check out what we can accept or give us a call.
We have a machine that can sort 400 containers per minute!
But do not crush your container and no lids or contaminants.
And we are happy to provide a Recycling cage for your local charity.
