First expedition to the can return machine. Got enough back to almost pay for a big sack of cat litter. Impressed with the speed of the thing!

Ooh lucky, wish I had one of those local to me. Mine’s an over the counter at a local shop; which is ok because they give you cash but they don’t like the larger bottles, only the smaller ones and cans etc. I suppose they’ve got to put them somewhere out back.

That’s awesome. I bet it eats cat food cans

Ah, none near me unfortunately. Here’s the map of ‘reverse vending machines’ if anybody wants it https://mytomra.com.au/locations/vic-container-deposit-scheme/

What kind of information did it ask? How did you get your refund? Etc.

I’m not keen on giving information, so chose the voucher option. It just prints a barcode you can scan.at Coles (and probably other places)

Oh it’s on thermal paper, so I wouldn’t advise saving them up to try to pay for a whole shop. If they fade getting hot in the glovebox or something you’ll lose the lot.
