CONTAINERS FOR CHANGE โป Express Recycling are putting a call out ๐ข for businesses and charities that it can connect through their recycling scheme via โCharity Buddyโ in preparation for accepting wine and spirt bottles. This as some businesses have limited storage or time to recycle, and a โCharity Buddyโ can collect items directly ๐พ In the run up to this expansion of the scheme, please no hoarding ๐ as the bottles will need to have the 10c symbol to be accepted, and we do not have a date for that, as yet! To find out more or get โconnectedโ head to expressrecycling.com.au![]()
