Apply to manage the Deposit Return Scheme for drinks containers

Applications are now open to become a deposit management organisation (DMO) for the Deposit Return Schemes in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Applications close on Monday 3 February 2025

Your organisation must be an independent, not-for-profit, private body.

There are 2 schemes – one across England and Northern Ireland, and one in Scotland. You can apply to manage one or both of the schemes. 

If you apply to be the DMO for only one scheme, you must explain how this will work alongside the other scheme.
