Crispr Projects Pty Ltd (ABN 85 680 798 770), trading as The Good Sort ("The Good Sort", "we", "us") operates a container sorting and collection platform. We provide physical collection bins ("Bins") at various locations where users ("Sorters") may deposit eligible beverage containers. We separately engage collection personnel ("Runners") to collect deposited containers and deliver them to approved recycling depots. The Good Sort is the entity that returns containers to Container Refund Points under the Queensland Container Refund Scheme (Containers for Change).
Important:Credits earned through The Good Sort are "Sorting Credits" — a reward paid by The Good Sort for the service of sorting and depositing eligible containers into our Bins. Sorting Credits are not the 10-cent container refund under the Queensland Container Refund Scheme. The Good Sort, as the party physically returning containers to approved depots, is the recipient of any applicable CDS refunds and handling fees. Sorting Credits are a separate, private arrangement between you and The Good Sort.
Sorters earn Sorting Credits at the rate displayed in the app at the time of scanning (currently 5 cents per eligible container). Runner Credits are earned at rates displayed in the Runner app. We reserve the right to adjust credit rates at any time. Rate changes will be reflected in the app and apply to future scans only.
Scanning a container earns a "pending" Sorting Credit. Pending credits are confirmed and moved to your "cleared" balance only when the containers from that Bin are physically collected by a Runner and verified at an approved depot. The actual cleared amount may differ from the pending amount based on depot verification and container eligibility. Containers that are ineligible, damaged, or rejected by the depot will not generate cleared credits.
Cleared balances may be cashed out via bank transfer to an Australian bank account. A minimum threshold of $20.00 applies. Cash-out requests are processed in weekly batches via ABA bank file. Processing typically takes 3-5 business days from the batch date. The Good Sort is not a financial institution, and credit balances are not insured deposits or held on trust.
You must be at least 13 years old and located in Queensland, Australia to use this service. Sorting Credits are only earned for eligible beverage containers as defined by the QLD Container Refund Scheme (150ml to 3L containers bearing a refund marking). Non-eligible items deposited in Bins will not earn credits and may result in account review.
Runners are independent contractors, not employees of The Good Sort. Runners are responsible for their own vehicle, fuel, insurance, and compliance with all applicable road rules and regulations. The Good Sort is not liable for any incidents, injuries, or property damage occurring during collection or delivery. Runner Credits are earned per collection route completed and verified at a depot.
The following activities constitute fraud and will result in immediate account termination and forfeiture of all pending and cleared balances: scanning containers not physically deposited in a Good Sort Bin; scanning containers at a Bin without being physically present; submitting false delivery confirmations; manipulating container counts; creating multiple accounts; or any other deceptive activity. We reserve the right to withhold payouts pending investigation and to report suspected fraud to relevant authorities.
Good Sort Bins remain the property of Crispr Projects Pty Ltd (ABN 85 680 798 770), trading as The Good Sort. Bins are placed at locations with the consent of the property owner or occupier. Containers deposited in Bins become the property of The Good Sort upon deposit. Tampering with, damaging, or removing Bins or their contents is prohibited and may constitute theft.
The Good Sort is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for lost or damaged containers, depot rejections, service interruptions, app downtime, or delays in credit processing. Our total aggregate liability to any user is limited to the cleared balance in their account at the time of any claim.
We may update these terms at any time. Material changes (including changes to credit rates) will be communicated via the app and/or email. Continued use of the service after notification constitutes acceptance of updated terms. If you do not agree with changes, you may cash out your cleared balance and discontinue use.
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland.
