Team Green is an initiative of the Melbourne Stars to ensure we are a more environmentally conscious organization that is actively reducing its impact on the planet.
The Melbourne Stars are proud to have Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS-Vic) on board as an official partner of the club’s Team Green initiatives. The Container Deposit Scheme is a recycling program that gives back to Victorians, the environment and community by providing a 10-cent refund for each eligible drink container returned. As part of the partnership, all refunds from the club’s collected containers will be donated to the Cricket Victoria Foundation, which funds programs to make cricket more accessible in the community.
For those, who want to go the extra mile - larger donations of containers from your home or club can be made at one of over 600 refund points across Victoria. Find your nearest one at cdsvic.org.au/locations.
The state is divided up into three zones, each of which has an app on both Android and iOS and you can set the CV Foundation as the recipient of your refund:
- North - CDS Vic North App | Visy
- East - CDS Vic East App - Return It
- West - CDS Vic West App
All materials are recycled into new products so the circular economy journey can start again! For more information on how to return: Victoria‘s Container Deposit Scheme | Learn How To Make A Return
