The Moruya Ford Street Return and Earn machine is at Lot 2, Ford Street, Moruya.
The machine is open daily from 7.00am to 10.00 pm.
Eurobodalla residents have a new location to recycle their bottles, cans and cartons with the opening of an upgraded Return and Earn machine in Moruya.
The Moruya Ford Street Return and Earn machine replaces the machine previously located in the Woolworths carpark on Queen Street, which closed in August.
The new machine is located at Lot 2, Ford Street, Moruya, in the council carpark. It is open daily from 7.00 am to 10.00 pm, becoming the fifth return point in the Eurobodalla region.
“Eurobodalla Shire Council residents are enthusiastic recyclers, having returned over 98 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.
The new machine holds a larger capacity and features the latest ‘takes-all’ technology, which means all containers can be returned through any of the machine’s four chutes, without the need to pre-sort glass containers from plastic and aluminium.
Users of the machine can print a voucher for the refund amount, which can be redeemed at Woolworths 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 over 400 donation partners listed on the Return and Earn app, including Yumaro, who provide employment opportunities and independent living options for people with a disability and the Country Women’s Association Moruya, who are fundraising to sponsor a carer accommodation unit at the new Eurobodalla Hospital.
Alternatively, recyclers can donate to 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.
More than 14.3 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.
Return and Earn has also 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.
