Their website mentions “A refund will be provided per eligible container you return at a Return-It QLD Express or Depot location, which you can choose to save or donate to charity. By not returning your eligible container, you are effectively ‘out-of-pocket’. It is financially and environmentally worth it to Return-It.”

Based on Google reviews for the location, some customers have complained about long car queues and wait times so you are probably best to go in a non-peak period, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays appear to be the busiest days.

You can receive on-the-spot refunds for eligible containers.

How does it work? You feed a conveyor belt that counts the cans, glass or plastic. It calculates the cash total for your items and issues a ticket that is scanned by a return it ATM. This ATM then gives you the option of taking cash out on the spot and some other option of getting credits from a scheme.
