In the midst of another busy day at North Queensland Green Solutions Ayr, Rach and her dedicated team counted their 50 millionth container at the Ayr Depot, marking a mammoth milestone.
Celebrating with a deliciously extra special cake, the team took a moment to reflect on the amazing work they have all achieved for the Burdekin community in the way of supporting local sustainability and statewide recycling initiatives.
“To my recycling superstars, I’m so incredibly proud of you all – it takes a very special team to be able to achieve numbers like you do day in, and day out - you are all such amazing humans, and I’m so blessed to be on this journey with you,” shared Rach.
“To all our customers in the Burdekin, thank you so much for your support – without it we couldn’t reach 50 million!”
Since the Containers for Change initiative launched in November of 2018, over 10 billion containers have been returned for recycling across the state, returning more than $1 billion to Queenslanders pockets.
As part of the scheme, most aluminium, glass, plastic, steel and liquid paperboard beverage containers between 150ml and 3L are eligible for a 10-cent refund at local container refund points statewide.
Once the containers are collected, refund point operators sort them into material types before they’re transported for processing and recycling by accredited recyclers to be transformed into something new again.
More information on the Queensland Government initiative is available online at www.containersforchange.com.au.
“Cheers to 50 million, and 50 million more!”
