The Northern Territory Government and Envirobank has announced the new cash for containers mobile depot will be operational shortly after Easter and will service large and small-scale volumes of returned containers.

 

“We’ve got normal depots, mini-depots, and now we’ve got mobile depots which can do it all,” Territory Minister for the Environment Karl Hampton said.

 

“I welcome today’s news from Envirobank that they are setting up a mobile depot in Shoal Bay to further expand the locations Territorians are able to turn their containers in for cash.

 

“Getting a scheme of this magnitude up was never going to be easy and we knew that, but we also realise Territorians want it, and is proven to be successful – that’s why the scheme is continues to grow.

 

“The ever increasing interest from the community and their involvement in Cash for Containers means that the flow of returned containers has not slowed down. If anything, it continues to increase, and a number of sporting groups and organisations are taking advantage of this scheme to raise funds to great effect.
