BEPS is now set up to collect and raise funds through the Victorian Government’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS). This means students and the BEPS community can deposit eligible bottles and cans and help raise money for the school.
CDS Vic is a state-wide recycling program that gives charities and community groups the opportunity to receive donations or to fundraise by hosting a container collection drive – all while keeping the environment clean.
BEPS has already started collecting the containers from school lunches and the money raised is slowly growing.
How can I donate my bottles and cans?
Take them to a local collection point
You can transfer your containers at any CDS West refund points. This is our preferred method. Use this link to find your nearest refund point. You can find your nearest refund point here.
Step-by-step instructions
- Download the CDS Vic West App – Apple Store or Google Play
- Create a profile
- Look up ‘Bottles 4 BEPS’ under ‘Charities’ and press ‘Set as payout’. Your active payout is now set as ‘Donation’
- Scan your App barcode at your local machine
- Insert your eligible bottles or cans
- Press ‘Transfer’ on your RVM screen
- 100% of the refund will go to making BEPS a better place!

Bring them to school
There is a signed collection point at the bottom of the Il Nido stairs.
We need helpers to transport and deposit the containers from the school to the refund point. If you ride, walk, or drive around Moreland Road on your commute to school we would love your help.
