Make Money From Your Summer Bottle and Can Recycling at Thorntons!

Adelaide hot summer days are often marked by the scents of sunscreen, the salty seaside air, and the need for refreshing beverages. The increasing pollution leads to a continuous rise in temperatures around the globe. The weather is becoming hotter and hotter every summer in Adelaide. Problems like dehydration and heat strokes are becoming more common. Therefore, drinking soft drinks and water all day is essential. 

All the bottles and cans, however, can contribute more to environmental pollution. To end this vicious cycle, we have to stop throwing our empty drink containers in the garbage bins. Thornton’s Recycling Adelaide can help you break this habit. With us, bottle and can recycling will not only be great for the planet. It will be good for your wallet as well.

In 1977, South Australia's container deposit scheme was introduced. Over the years, it has proven to be very effective in reducing waste, recovering more resources and reducing waste ending up in landfills.

Under this scheme, you should receive a ten-cent refund on each bottle you take to a registered recycling depot. Most beverage containers sold in South Australia are eligible for a refund. At Thorntons Recycling Adelaide, we can help you get the most out this bottle and can recycling scheme.

The bottle or can must display the refund mark to be eligible. The label on it must say ‘10c refund at collection depots when sold in SA’. Any beverage containers sold outside South Australia do not qualify for a refund. However, we do accept these bottles and cans at our Adelaide recycling depot. They will not make you money, but they should not also end up in landfills or in the ocean.

Over forty years ago, Thornton’s Recycling was established in Adelaide. We started out as a bottle and can recycling depot. Today, we recycle significant amounts of recyclable materials and offer a simple and convenient service to our customers.

To receive the ten-cent per container refund, you can bring your bottles and cans to our conveniently located recycling depot. It is in Thebarton five kilometres away from Adelaide. There, our friendly staff will help you sort and count your bottle and can recycling items. They will then hand you the cash instantly. To ensure you get in and out as fast as possible, remove the lids from your bottles. You can also make sure all bottles and cans are clean and do not contain any fluids.

Also, our convenient drive-thru and drop off service, we do pick-up services for business clients. Our team will collect and count your bottle and can recycling items and pay you there.
