Australia’s capital gets container recycling vending machine

Canberra, the capital of Australia, has its first reverse vending machine that recycles containers in return for cash, according to a Canberra Times report. The machine is located at Erindale Shopping Centre in Wanniassa as part of the government's container deposit scheme.

Users insert non-crushed containers to be automatically counted and sorted and receive an automatic refund into their account.

The trial return point will be open seven days a week with customer assistance available from 9 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. for the first three months.
