Queensland’s Container for Change scheme has officially started, with residents now able to cash in their plastic drink containers, beer bottles and aluminium cans for 10¢ each.

The Queensland government announced it would introduce a container-refund scheme in July 2016.

On Thursday, more than two years after the announcement, the scheme branded Containers for Change and run by not-for-profit company CoEx (Container Exchange) started.

There are 232 collection points across Queensland, with a further 70 sites expected to open within 12 months.
