Albert. That could explain it. Also, I believe reimbursement from the beer brewers and the soft drink manufacturers comes from different sources hence the need to identify the can type.

For the benefit of others on the forum, South Australia uses the 10 cent deposit system whereas Victoria doesn’t.

I doubt it the depot here just throws all aluminum cans in one container i think they get paid by weight.
My theory is that the public pay the deposit to the shop who pays it to manufacturer who pay it to a deposit handler maybe government... when public return it to depot the get paid and the depot gets the funds from deposit handler
