Accumulated points can be redeemed for various vouchers via the app, such as Grab vouchers, Touch 'n Go credits and et cetera. The RVM operates daily from 9am to 9.30pm and is subject to change based on demand.

With every recyclable item deposited into the machine, Setia City Convention Centre will also receive 10% of the carbon offset score, which is reflected on the KLEAN dashboard.
