We’re excited to announce a partnership between Scouts Victoria and CDS Vic, designed to reward Scouts and Scout Groups for their commitment to container recycling.
To celebrate the upcoming first anniversary of the scheme's launch, CDS Vic will launch an interactive installation at Scienceworks to educate young Victorians about recycling.
CDS Vic is proud to announce its groundbreaking partnership with Tennis Victoria. This exciting initiative aims to reduce waste, promote recycling, and support grassroots tennis communities across the state to raise funds.
AFL Victoria and CDS Vic have teamed up to support local football clubs across the state in raising funds and promoting sustainability. Through this exciting partnership, CDS Vic is now the Official Recycling Partner of AFL Victoria until 2027.

Alexandra Football Netball Club have been participating in CDS Vic and using their donations to fund their footy club supplies. Ray, who is the club's president, said, "Being president of the footy club, I get involved in a range of different things... I get out and about and collect the cans. Sometimes I'm actually known as the local can man - albeit now that I've expanded into glass and plastic as well!"
