Did you know you can earn 10 cents for every eligible drink container you return at the Return and Earn machine at the Uralla Bowlo? The machine has two chutes for light and heavy containers, making it a quick and hassle-free way to recycle while getting some cash back.
"Every bottle, can and carton you recycle makes a difference. Whether you’re saving for something special or supporting a cause close to your heart, it’s an easy way to contribute to the Uralla community and help the environment. And with the rising cost of living, recycling through Return and Earn is a simple way to earn a little extra cash," said James Dorney, CEO of TOMRA Cleanaway, network operator for Return and Earn.
“Uralla residents are enthusiastic recyclers, having returned over 2.5 million eligible bottles, cans and cartons through local return points since the scheme began,” said Mr. Dorney.
The Uralla Bowlo Return and Earn machine is located in the car park at 19 Queen Street. It is open Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 7:00pm daily.
Recyclers can still print a voucher for the refund amount, which can be redeemed for cash or purchases at Foodworks Uralla, or they can opt for an e-voucher or payment directly into their bank or PayPal account using the Return and Earn app.
Locals can choose to donate their refund to one of over 300 donation partners listed on the Return and Earn app. Uralla has a variety of fantastic local organisations to consider donating to including Kelly’s Plains School P&C Association who are fundraising to replace school kitchen facilities
Locals can also donate to the current statewide donation partner Foodbank NSW & ACT. Foodbank is a food relief charity providing much needed assistance to individuals and families across NSW and the ACT.
Return and Earn has become a key fundraising channel for many charities and community groups in NSW. Over $62 million has been raised from donations and fees from hosting return points since the scheme launched in 2017.
More than 12.8 billion drink containers have been returned for recycling through the network of over 650 return points across NSW since Return and Earn began, resulting in over $1.28 billion in container refunds back in people’s pockets.
