Return and Earn 2 mins read
Key Facts:

The Pacific Square Maroubra machine is located in the underground carpark of Pacific Square (level B1, section G), at 737 Anzac Parade, Maroubra.

It is open daily from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm.


Randwick residents have even more locations to recycle their eligible bottles, cans and cartons with the opening of a new Return and Earn machine in Maroubra.

The Pacific Square Maroubra Return and Earn machine is the 10th return point in the Randwick area, making it easy to recycle eligible containers and get your 10c refund.

The machine is located in the underground carpark of Pacific Square (level B1 in section G), at 737 Anzac Parade, Maroubra. It is open daily from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm.

“Randwick City Council residents are enthusiastic recyclers, having returned over 125.3 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 14 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 $1.4 billion in container refunds back in people’s pockets.”  

Users of the new machine can print a voucher for the refund amount, which can be redeemed at Coles for a discount on their shopping or for cash. Users 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 almost 400 donation partners listed on the Return and Earn app, including the current statewide donation partner Guide Dogs NSW/ACT. Guide Dogs offers life-changing support for people living with low vision and blindness to confidently navigate their communities.

Return and Earn has become a key fundraising channel for many charities and community groups in NSW. Over $82 million has been raised from donations and fees from hosting return points since the scheme launched in 2017.

Homelessness NSW backs Wentworth Park plan to deliver 2,500 new homes

Homelessness NSW strongly backs the NSW Government's decision to raze Wentworth Park to build 2,500 new homes. “Providing housing to the people of Sydney is far more important than watching dogs race around a track,” said Homelessness NSW CEO Dominique Rowe. “Turning Wentworth Park into a public space and building 2,500 new homes is exactly the kind of bold decision we need more of. “Wentworth Park should serve the people of Sydney, not gambling interests which have caused financial hardship and homelessness for decades. “We call on the government to ensure at least 10% of the new homes built on…

Making waves: Innovative tool transforming beach safety education for migrants

Despite around 9,000 people being rescued by lifesavers each year, drowning deaths in Australia continue to rise, with one in three drowning victims born overseas. A new project led by Monash University is hoping to reverse this trend by developing an innovative tool to educate migrants on beach safety. Many migrants are required to sit the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam as part of the Australian visa application, university admissions, and employment processes. With thousands preparing for IELTS each year, a new study from Monash University, in collaboration with Surf Life Saving Australia and the UNSW Beach Safety…
