Another reverse vending machine for people to trade recyclable items in exchange for money has been switched on in the Hunter.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald said the new Return and Earn drop-off point at Kotara was brought online at Kotara Home, on Northcott Drive, on Friday.
“People will be able to choose to donate their refund directly to charities, receive a docket redeemable for cash or an electronic transfer using PayPal at the machines,” Mr MacDonald said.
“Return and Earn is the largest litter reduction initiative to be introduced in NSW, and now there are more collection points for the Charlestown community to be involved.”
