Container Refund Scheme Act 2022

A refund amount is not payable under this Act in respect of an approved container deposited at a container refund point if the refund point operator for the container refund point is satisfied, on reasonable grounds, of one or more of the following:that the container is not substantially empty; that the container does not display the relevant prescribed marks; that the container displays marks that are obscured, or damaged, in such a manner that the marks are unable to be identified as the relevant prescribed marks; that a refund amount has already been paid in respect of the container under this Act or an equivalent Act; that the container refund point is a container refund machine and the machine has refused to accept the container; that the prescribed circumstances apply in respect of the container.

Subsection (1)(e) does not prevent a container that is refused by a container refund machine from being deposited, and accepted, at another container refund point.
