25.01.2022 Happy Easter to you all

24.01.2022 A reminder that NOT all drink containers are eligible for a refund. Some juices arent, and some nectars are. See examples in the photos. Hint: Look for the 10c refund on the packaging or use the clever barcode checker here: https://www.containersforchange.com.au/qld/how-it-works

18.01.2022 To assist with minimising contact we recommend our recyclers register for a Scheme ID. This means the funds will appear in your bank account just a few days after processing, rather than collecting cash. Visit www.containersforchange.com.au to register. Ensure all your bags/boxes are labelled with your ID upon drop off. Labels are available on the counter if needed. Any questions, dont hesitate to ask

01.01.2022 Wanted - hard working friendly face for a few hours of casual work a few times per week. Need to be flexible to work across multiple roles including but not limited to: Counting recycling (including lifting boxes/bags), Cleaning and Customer service. If this sounds like it would suit you, email your interest or contact via messenger.

01.01.2022 Remember we manually handle your recycling when sorting, so NO heavy woolpacks or pods with glass please. We have a stack of bags and even a few spare milk crates we can give you - just ask! Also, while we like your recycling, we dont like your rubbish - please be aware of what you are giving us. If you dont want it, chances are neither do we. #notthehulkorthanos #safetyfirst #recyclingbutnotrubbish
