Container deposit machine now outdoors
LOCALS wanting to cash in on the Victorian Container Deposit Scheme can now have access to the Koroit machine outdoors.
Previously located inside Daly’s IGA, the machine has recently been moved outdoors, on Commercial Road, giving locals the opportunity to make their deposits of eligible drink containers for refunds even more convenient and accessible than before.
To date, TOMRA Cleanaway’s West Zone operation has collected more than 773 million containers in the west zone, putting more than $77,300,000 back into the pockets of Victorians.
CDS Vic gives charities, communities groups, schools and sporting groups new ways to fundraise by registering as a donor partner.
As of this month, more than 1000 groups are embracing the opportunity to use this as a fundraising tool.
In Koroit, those already fundraising through the container deposit scheme include the Koroit Bowls Club (new Saints uniforms), Koroit Football Netball Club (sporting equipment), Koroit and District Primary School (school improvements) and the Koroit and District Basketball Association.
“Recycling should be simple and accessible for everyone, and placing this machine in Koroit reflects our commitment to making that a reality,” CEO of TOMRA Cleanaway, James Dorney said.
“By providing convenient solutions, we hope to inspire more people to embrace recycling and contribute to a cleaner, greener future.
“We’re excited to see the positive impact this machine will have on the Koroit community.”
