维多利亚州集装箱退款计划现在提供了安全、合法的垃圾箱,以防止冒险的废物拾取。 Victoria’s container refund scheme now offers safe, legal bins to prevent risky waste picking.

自维多利亚州2023年集装箱存款计划启动以来,一些居民,包括面临财政或心理健康挑战的居民,从垃圾桶中收取了可退款的罐子和瓶子,以赚取收入。 Since Victoria’s 2023 container deposit scheme launched, some residents, including those facing financial or mental health challenges, have collected refundable cans and bottles from bins for income. 虽然这种做法为部分人提供了救命稻草，但当局警告防止未经授权的垃圾桶回收，尤其是在商业垃圾箱中，因为这可能违反当地规定并导致罚款。 While the practice provides a lifeline for some, authorities warn against unauthorized bin fossicking, especially in commercial skips, as it may violate local rules and lead to fines. 为了提供一个更安全、法律的替代办法,该计划正在与理事会合作,在垃圾箱中安装外部集装箱篮子,以便能够安全、有组织地进行收集,而不会扰乱垃圾流。 To offer a safer, legal alternative, the scheme is partnering with councils to install external container baskets at bins, enabling safe, organized collection without disturbing waste streams.
