BAG DROP

Simply ‘bag it, tag it, drop it’. Bag drops are available as a convenient and contact free way to cash in.

All you have to do is:

  • Bag it: Place your containers in sturdy bags.
  • Tag it: Use the labels from your local container refund point or write your member number and name on the bag.
  • Drop it: Leave your containers at the bag drop.

Designed for convenience, bag drops take slightly longer for you to receive your refund than at a depot. This is because bag drop sites are only serviced a few times a week – depending on the location. The containers are collected, transported and counted before the refund can be transferred to your account.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY!

First time visiting the Exchange Shed in Jimboomba. My husband couldn’t praise the staff enough. He said the place is so clean and tidy. The staff are so friendly and helpful and very kind. Lovely to have businesses like these in our community

Michele Mann

Drive through service with a smile! What more can you want. They count your recyclables and pay you the 10c per item.

I have been here and told many locals about this recycling location purely as it beats any other centre with convenience plus the staff are all totally amazing.

Give the guys here a go you won’t want to go anywhere else!

Brooke Colledge

Great place to get cash for your cans. Always friendly staff and very helpful. Love how they work covid-19 safe. Also when you get your cash there is that little bonus the lolly how thoughtful. Such a small thing but it’s the little things that make it all worthwhile in the end.

Thanks guys great job!
