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.

Through this partnership, Tennis Victoria will integrate CDS Vic into tennis clubs and events, encouraging players, spectators, and the community to recycle drink containers while simultaneously raising funds for local tennis programs. The CDS Vic offers Victorians a 10-cent refund for every eligible drink container returned, providing a practical and impactful way to support both environmental sustainability and community engagement.
Kim Kachel, CEO of Tennis Victoria, hailed the partnership as a major step forward for the sport’s sustainability efforts.
"This collaboration with Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme reflects Tennis Victoria’s commitment to environmental leadership. By making recycling accessible at our clubs and events, we’re fostering a culture of sustainability within the tennis community. The funds raised will also go a long way in supporting grassroots programs, making this partnership a win-win for both the environment and tennis in Victoria."
Marianne Doyle, CDS Vic Spokesperson highlighted the partnership’s broader community impact.
"The partnership between Tennis Victoria and Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme is an excellent example of how sport can lead the way in tackling environmental challenges. It’s not just about recycling containers—it's about building a sustainable future for our communities, one tennis club at a time. We are proud to support this initiative and the positive outcomes it will deliver for both the environment and local tennis."
The partnership launches ahead of the Summer of Tennis, with Tennis Victoria working closely with clubs to roll out collection points and engage the community in promoting sustainability through sport.
