Nowra Return and Earn

01/09/2026

Meet Wayne, who has been helping get cans and bottles sorted and ready to return at our Nowra Return and Earn Depot.

Every container returned helps raise funds for the bowls team, turning recycling into a simple way to support the group and keep their activities going.

It’s a great example of how a little teamwork can make a big difference for the community and the environment. 💚

Thanks, Wayne, for lending a hand and helping the team Return and Earn! ♻️

It's a true team effort!

One of our local Bowls team works together to collect and prepare cans and bottles for cashing in through Return and Earn. Every eligible container helps raise valuable funds that go straight back into supporting the club and its activities.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for making a difference—one container at a time! 💚👏

Another of our regulars is local Scott, today our team Matthew from our team, gave him a demonstration of how the machines work and the overall process.

Scott collects from 3-4 local businesses who gladly donate to him to help reduce their reliance on waste disposal services and the cost they can incur.

Everyone is always welcome at our drive-in automated depot, so come on over and try us.

Meet one of our local regulars, Paul.

He was curious about how our machines worked. So Matthew gave him a walkthrough of how the singulator sets them into a single file onto the conveyors that then go through the scanner which automatically sorts by type and counts them to work out the value owed back.

All fairly straight forward but still pretty impressive to see it working through hundred of containers so fast.

Greenwell Point Men’s Shed are a regular customer at our Nowra Drive-in Return and Earn depot.

The funds they raise go back to the men’s shed for work they do to support others in the community.

These are a great bunch of guys and we welcome their ongoing support and attendance. Plus they even build their own cage to stop the bottles and cans escaping.

We are always happy to help organisations use our automated Return and Earn depot to help raise funds for themselves. Just drop in if you'd like to have a chat.

The guys from Sussex Inlet Marine Rescue came by the other day to claim their deposits on the containers they collect.

Collecting bottles and cans helps to fund their voluntary operations. So next time you're down that way why not drop off any containers with them.

We are always very happy to help any organisation or charity who want to use our depot to claim back deposits. Whether its a bag full or a Ute full of bins our staff at our drive in depots makes light work of it and all the 10c are paid straight into your bank.
