MORE than 150 million containers have been returned in Ipswich through the Containers for Change scheme in a little over two years.
That’s $15 million back in the pockets of local residents, community groups and businesses.
The scheme launched at the end of 2018, with three billion containers accepted across Queensland since then.
Ipswich in particular has played a significant part and its participation has grown markedly in the past two years.
After 59 million containers were returned in Ipswich in 2019, that figure rose to 85 million last year.
The scheme is administered by not-for-profit organisation Containers Exchange.
Chief executive Ken Noye said the scheme had resulted in a 54 per cent drop in beverage containers littering the environment.
