We’re creating a sustainable future
Join us in our mission to reduce environmental impact and build a greener community for generations to come.
Sustainability in services like City Return and Earn lies in their ability to create a positive environmental impact while fostering community engagement. By collecting empty cans and bottles and offering a refund of 10 cents per item, we incentivise individuals to participate in recycling efforts, promoting a culture of zero waste.
Our service contributes to resource conservation by diverting materials from landfills and promoting their reuse.
Our Community Impact initiative involves supporting local businesses in their recycling journey by providing bins and collection services for a small fee, ensuring they still receive the 10 cents refund for each container recycled. This approach not only benefits the environment but also promotes value for money and empowers individuals to take an active role in preserving our planet for future generations.
