Why not kick off the new year with a resolution that’s good for both you and the environment? Bring your bottles, cans, and cartons down to the Narromine Return and Earn machine and get 10 cents back for every eligible drink container you return while helping to reduce local waste.
"Whether you’re saving for something special or supporting a cause close to your heart, it’s an easy way to contribute to the Narromine 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.
The machine has two chutes and you can return both lightweight and glass containers through any chute, making it a quick and hassle-free way to recycle while getting some cash back.
“Narromine Shire Council residents are enthusiastic recyclers, having returned over 2 million eligible bottles, cans and cartons through local return points since the scheme began,” said Mr. Dorney.
The Narromine Return and Earn machine is located outside the Narromine Waste Facility at 156 Gainsborough Road. It is open from 7:00am to 7:00pm daily.
Recyclers can print a voucher for the refund amount, which can be redeemed for cash or purchases at Coles 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. Narromine has a variety of fantastic local organisations to consider donating to including Orana Support Service Incorporated who are raising funds for an integrated learning and accommodation facility in the region for young people.
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 $72 million has been raised from donations and fees from hosting return points since the scheme launched in 2017.
More than 13 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 $1.3 billion in container refunds back in people’s pockets.
