Nearly 1.5 million plastic bottles, cans and stubbies have been recycled in Queensland on the first weekend of the Containers for Exchange recycling scheme.
Major recycling operators TOMRA and Envirobank both reported an enormous public response following the beginning the program on November 1st.
TOMRA’s national marketing manager Martin Walters believed people are embracing the scheme 100 per cent, as they want to do the right thing by the environment.
