Northwest Tasmanians now have a new way to turn their drink containers into positive community impact with the official opening of the Recycle Rewards Spreyton depot today. The new refund point is operated by the St Vincent de Paul Society (Vinnies).
When eligible containers are donated to Vinnies, it all adds up to real change – providing food, clothing and emergency assistance to Tasmanians doing it tough.
The partnership with Recycle Rewards, Tasmania’s container refund scheme also reinforces Vinnies dedication to their circular economy, which is central to our operations locally, nationally and globally.
TasRecycle Chief Commercial and Operations Officer, David Paytner said, “This new depot – our fourth in Tasmania – creates jobs and training opportunities, especially for those doing it tough. Together – as a community – we’re proving that doing good for the environment can also do good for people.”
The new depot is located at Vinnies Spreyton, 8 Wigmore Road, and is open from 9.15am to 4.45pm Monday to Friday and 9.00am to 1.00pm on Saturdays. Vinnies also operates a reverse vending machine at its Op Shop in Wynyard.
