Divided by the 6.6 million people in Victoria it adds up to $7.50 per person, over about 6 months.

I'm at about $21, we're gonna be rich if we keep it up!

Yeah that makes more sense. Probably half or quarter the numbers and you have a closer number.

I would love to know the total number that went to recycling plants in that 6 month period too

Council contractors also can claim the deposit for anything received at a materials recovery facility.

It's intended for paying for the processing of the recycling.
