Return and Earn
Forster?residents have even more locations to recycle their eligible bottles,?cans?and cartons with the opening of a new Return and Earn machine.
The?Breese Parade Return?and Earn machine is the?15th?return point in the?MidCoast Council area,?making it easier than ever?to recycle eligible containers and get your 10c refund.
The new machine is?located?at?8 Breese Parade, Forster.?It is open daily from?7.00 am to?10.00 pm.
“MidCoast Council residents are enthusiastic recyclers, having returned over 258 million eligible bottles,?cans?and cartons through local return points since the scheme began,” said James Dorney, CEO of TOMRA Cleanaway, network operator for Return and Earn.
“Statewide, more than 15.4 billion drink containers have been returned for recycling through the network of over 660 return points across NSW since Return and Earn?began, resulting in over $1.5 billion in container refunds back in people’s pockets.”
The?new?machine features the latest ‘takes-all’ technology, which means all eligible drink containers can be returned through?any?of the machine’s four chutes, without the need to pre-sort glass containers from plastic and aluminium.
Recyclers?can print a voucher for the refund amount, which can be redeemed at?Coles?for a discount on their shopping or for cash. Recyclers can also opt for an e-voucher or payment directly into their bank or PayPal account using the Return and Earn app.
Locals can also donate their refund to one of?over?500 donation partners listed on the Return and Earn app, including?Great Lakes Women’s Shelter, which provides accommodation and support for women seeking refuge from domestic violence or homelessness.
Alternatively, recyclers can donate to?the current statewide donation partner,?Jeans for Genes, to support?research?into?treatments and cures for children’s genetic conditions.
Return and Earn has become a key fundraising channel for many charities and community groups in NSW.?Over?$91?million has been raised from donations and fees from hosting return points since the scheme launched in 2017.
