Inner west residents are running out of chances to win $10,000 by just recycling bottles and cans through Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS)
The CDS’ Win A Million! Cents competition, where five Victorians recyclers will receive a million cents ( or $10,000 as the amount is more commonly known) each, closes on Sunday, June 15.
Beginning on May 5,the competition automatically rewards CDS customers with one entry for every 50 eligible containers they return in a single transaction – regardless of whether they keep the refund amount or donate it to one of the registered donation partners.
For one of the five winners, their million cents prize will become two million, with a bonus $10,000 to donate to a registered CDS Vic charity, school, or community group of their choice.
The reverse vending machine at the Yarraville Community Centre (YCC) has become one of the most popular CDS drop off points in the state since the scheme began in November 2023.
YCC operations manager Patricia Saca encouraged locals planning to drop off bottles and cans at the centre, to make sure they deposit enough to enter the competition.
“We’d like to see one of users win it,” said Ms Saca.
“We encourage and welcome people to participate in the campaign before June 15.”
She said anyone who was unsure how to enter the competition, could simply and come and ask at reception.
