Victoria's Container Deposit Scheme

Faith and recycling might seem worlds apart but at Lien Tri Temple, they come together beautifully. In Melbourne's West, Abbot Thích Phước Thể of Lien Tri Temple has inspired his community to collect and return containers through Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme. “Community members often look for ways to contribute and donate to the temple. Sometimes they bring food, flowers or even old furniture. Now I ask them to bring their eligible containers." says the Abbott. The result? Lien Tri Temple has raised $1000 and counting. At CDS Vic, we love seeing how a simple act, like returning eligible containers, can create a ripple effect - helping the planet and strengthening communities along the way.
