Lastly, Tina and Jess stopped by Care For Hedland Environmental Association – Containers For Change, where Kelly shared some impressive statistics with them. Since the program’s launch in 2020, they’ve collected an incredible 43,892,662 containers. In last month alone, an amazing 786,924 plastic bottles, cans, glass bottles, and other recyclables were processed, highlighting the tremendous impact of the community’s recycling efforts. On August 13th, 2025, the team achieved their biggest single day count yet, refunding an impressive 55,917 containers. The Containers for Change scheme encourages recycling by offering refunds on most beverage containers between 150mL and 3L, excluding plain milk containers, wine bottles, spirits bottles and a few others. Residents can easily check container eligibility by scanning the barcode on the official Containers for Change website. The Wedgefield Depot is open weekdays from 8 am to 4 pm and Saturdays from 8 am to 1 pm, closing on Sundays and public holidays.
