Do you have empty drink cans, bottles or cartons? The Territory Can Man is a ‘cash for cans’ drop off location for Darwin and surrounding areas. Drop off your recyclables at our Winnellie depot or we can deliver bins or cages for you to fill. We can even pick up your recycling, as long as it’s in a bulk bag. 


We can recycle:


  • Batteries, including car & truck batteries
  • Cans
  • Clear & coloured plastics
  • Clear, green & brown glass
  • Flavoured milk bottles & cartons
  • Juice “popper” cartons


To obtain the 10-cent refund, ensure all items are clean, contain no liquid, and are sorted into categories. Still not sure? Contact our friendly team for a hand.

Environmental Benefits

As well as the money, there are many other benefits to recycling, including: 


  • Reducing energy and water use
  • Reducing environmental impact
  • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
  • Reducing waste going to landfill
  • Reusing valuable materials

Depot

The Territory Can Man is part of the Northern Territory’s Container Deposit Scheme in Darwin. You can bring your 10-cent containers to our depot, drive through and exchange your approved containers. We accept cans, cartons and bottles for cash through our helpful and well-organised team.


To help our staff, do not crush the eligible containers you are returning. It would also reduce your waiting time to ensure your containers are clean, sorted into material types and do not have lids. Depots are not required to accept containers which are unclean, contaminated or have a lid on.


We pay the 10-cent refund for each container to the person who presents them at our depot at 102 Winnellie Rd, Winnellie.
