CDL AROUND AUSTRALIA
A Newspoll survey commissioned by Clean Up Australia in 2007, showed
that four out of five Australians believe a 10-cent refund for drink containers
is a good idea.
The survey results also showed that 88 per cent of Australians want the
beverage industry to help set up a national refund scheme for bottles
and cans, like the scheme that already operates in South Australia.
Victoria: A Newspoll survey in 2006, commissioned by AFROCAB, found that
94% of Victorians are in favour of the State Government introducing a
container deposit and refund scheme in Victoria.
Letters from the public to the Minister for Environment and Climate Change
continue to be referred to EPA Victoria. Their answers say that Victoria
has not implemented a CDL system because of our successful kerbside system!
WA: A Newspoll survey in 2006, commissioned by the Boomerang Alliance,
found that 93% of WA residents supported their government's decision to
introduce container deposits.

in case a national scheme is abandoned or delayed.

that companies that make cans and bottles should help set it up.
