Davidson residents will have a new location to recycle, with the opening of a Return and Earn machine later this month on Babbage Road, Roseville.
Member for Davidson Jonathan O’Dea made the announcement during National Recycling Week, which runs until 13 November.
“This year, National Recycling Week is about reducing waste and recycling better, and there’s nothing better than the ‘win-win’ of recycling your eligible bottles and cans through Return and Earn,” Mr O’Dea said.
“Since the scheme launched, more than eight billion containers have been returned for recycling through the network of more than 600 return points across NSW.
“Our community’s participation helps reduce litter and landfill and contributes to NSW’s growing circular economy, while putting money back into the pockets of people who recycle right.”
Return and Earn is a key fundraising channel for many charities and community groups in NSW, raising more than $35 million from donations and fees since the scheme launched in 2017.
Local recyclers can also support the latest state-wide recycling appeal ‘Protect our Planet’ by donating to either the Australian Marine Conservation Society or Bush Heritage Australia.
The Roseville Return and Earn machine will be located at 19-21 Babbage Road, Roseville and opens from Monday 28 November.
It will be open from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday and on weekends from 8am to 5pm.
