This is the best summary I could come up with:

Victorians can now turn what previously went into their household recycling bins into cash with the state's container deposit scheme officially starting.

Tracey Cheshire was the first recycler through the door at the new Wodonga exchange this morning, dropping off two bags full of cans and bottles from her workplace social club.

Processing sites will have staffed high-speed counting machines ready for community members to deposit their bottles and cans.

"It's a really simple process, which allows every container made from aluminium, plastic, glass, or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that comes through this scheme to be recycled and turned back into another product," he said.

Alternatively, recyclers can sign up for a Scheme ID to put their money straight into a bank account or donate it to charities and community groups.

Victorian Environment Minister Steve Dimopolous said Victoria had learnt lessons from other states in how best to run the scheme.
