THE container deposit scheme (CDS) located at the Hamilton Bowling Club on Kennedy St has been deemed one of the most successful ‘reverse vending machines’ in Victoria’s West Zone, as a popular choice for locals to exchange recyclable drink containers.

The State Government has invested $515 million to transform the Victoria’s waste and recycling system, driving progress towards the target of diverting 80 per cent of all waste away from landfill by 2030.
