THE Northern Territory government will fund a cash for containers scheme for eight weeks while it resolves legal issues.
The anti-littering scheme designed by the former Labor government took effect on January 3, but beverage companies successfully challenged it in court.
A March 4 ruling said the scheme was in breach of federal legislation and drink companies did not have to participate.
Since the ruling there has been uncertainty about whether people who collected cans and bottles could continue to claim 10 cent refunds at collection centres.
The NT modelled the scheme on one run for decades in South Australia, but SA has an exemption under the Act.
NT Planning and Environment Minister Peter Chandler on Monday said the scheme would run for eight weeks from March 27 while the government garnered support from other governments for legal exemptions.
He said the government was confident it would get the support it needed.
The government was also appealing against the Federal Court decision.
