Only the state of South Australia practices Container Deposit Legislation, refunding to the value of 10c per can or bottle. This practice started in 1977 to reduce littering as legislated by the Beverage Container Act of SA.
A nationwide container deposit scheme has been proposed in the Senate of the Federal Parliament. All attempts in other states have been unsuccessful so far (Victoria tried it twice but rescinded). (Note: plain milk and wine in glass containers are outside the scope of the South Australian CDL, and fruit juices and flavoured milks in 1L or bigger containers).
