New reverse vending machines (RVMs) for the NSW container deposit scheme Return and Earn have been installed at the Caringbah Bowling and Recreation Club, 105 Willarong Rd, Caringbah.
Return and Earn is the largest litter reduction initiative to be introduced in NSW. 3.6 million containers have already been collected at the two other reverse vending machine kiosks in the Cronulla area and more than 580 million across NSW.
RVMs provide community users a refund in three ways. They can:
- Receive the refund into a registered PayPal account by scanning the myTOMRA app code on your smartphone at the machine
- Collect a printed voucher that can be redeemed for either cash or an in-store purchase at the retail partner (in this case it is Coles)
- Donate to one of the donation partners listed on the machine
Local community groups, schools, sports groups and charities can also apply to become a local donation partner on the machine so people returning containers to the site can choose to donate them their refund.
Drink containers eligible for the 10 cent refund include most containers between 150ml and three litres. Containers must be intact (not crushed or broken) and have a readable barcode to be eligible for the refund.
Residents can still use their kerbside recycling bins for ineligible drink containers. They can also still place their eligible containers into the kerbside recycling bins or even donate them to local charities or community groups that are collecting them for fundraising purposes.
For more information, including a return point map, eligible drink containers, and how to apply to become a donation partner, visit: www.returnandearn.org.au.
Congratulations Pat Cummins and the entire Australian cricket team on regaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a fantastic test series.

It is my opinion that politicians want us to believe that Australia is multicultural. This is a lie. Australia was created in 1901 when we became a Commonwealth under one Christian Almighty God. Our values, our morals and our laws are fundamentally based on Christian beliefs. However, our core values and morals are under threat as each politician tries to win votes from different religions. The current actions and economic policies of our political leaders are not creating a stronger Australian culture, only making it weaker. We are not multicultural, we are one culture: Australian. Individuals from other cultures that are invited to live in Australia are welcome, and we respect their customs. Our politicians are trying to polarise and divide us by forcing us to believe in a lie, that we are multicultural. We need to preserve our unique culture. It is our responsibility to tell them we are but one culture: Australian. For those of us who have been born here, we are one with Australia as our aboriginal brothers and sisters. We are not part of a two state solution that Labor has been fighting to impose on our nation, as they are trying to impose on Israel. My message to all politicians is clear, we are one nation: Australia.

The world watches our amazing Sydney New Yearβs Eve fireworks each year - but they wouldnβt happen without the teams of workers involved in the extraordinary preparation and logistics required today, tonight and for tomorrowβs cleanup, as well as our police, fire and rescue, ambulance and other frontline workers.
Please stay safe tonight and enjoy the celebrations. ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you
Advance Australia.
You the bastard. More worried about the world than represent your own citizens.
2024 has been a huge year for more of the NSW Liberalsβ and Nationalsβ major infrastructure projects.
Projects completed in 2024 and designed, funded and built by them included:
Sydney Metro Chatswood to Sydenham
Parramatta Light Rail
Gateway motorway to Sydney Airport
Stage 1 Liverpool Hospital
Gregory Hills Public School
Projects in progress in 2024 ... See MoreSee Less

Will the Minns Government actually start any infrastructure projects this term, or are they just perfecting the art of cutting ribbons? Iβll hold my breathe waiting!! You need to add - The Powerhouse Extension Castle Hill to your list.
And finally the new intercity trains are running to Newcastle too.
The Premier should be a barber. When heβs not cutting budgets and cost of living initiatives, heβs cutting the ribbon on major infrastructure projects initiated by the former Lib/Nat Govt
All but 2 in Sydney
You Liberal Idiots have wasted so much of NSW taxpayers money on poor infustructure projects. A tram system that on goes 40 kph A metro system of only 6 carriages, no toilets limited to 100 kph, and means changing An intercity fleet to the wrong structure gauge And ferry's not fit for service. Absolute fools.
Shame you didnt built the Rouse Hill hospital nsw libs promised .by pictures it shows all sydney works.nsw does exist but forgotton westbof great dividing range and north of newcastle and south of Sutherland.

One of the great pleasures of leading the NSW Liberals in 2024 has been getting out and about meeting so many wonderful Australians in our vibrant multicultural communities.
Looking forward to meeting many more across NSW in 2025! ... See MoreSee Less

This year the NSW Opposition shadow cabinet held meetings in the North Sydney, Blacktown, Georges River, Lismore, Shoalhaven, Penrith and Sutherland local government areas, with many more to come in 2025.
This is just one part of hearing from local communities, who want to be heard and are being hit hard by the cost of living crisis. ... See MoreSee Less
