Member for Davidson Jonathon O’Dea has announced residents will soon have a new location to recycle, with the opening of a Return and Earn machine at Roseville.

The announcement comes after National Recycling Week which is aimed at raising awareness on reducing waste and recycling better within the community.

Since the Return and Earn scheme launched in 2017, it has been the key fundraising channel for many charities and community groups in NSW, raising more than $35 million from donations and fees.

According to Mr O’Dea, 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,” he said.

The Roseville Return and Earn machine will be located at 19-21 Babbage Road, Roseville and opens from Monday 28 November.
