Baskets for cans and bottles are being attached to public bins in key spots across the Byron Shire as part of a boost to the NSW Return and Earn recycling program.

With National Recycling Week underway, one of Lismore City Council’s most popular recycling options is about to get bigger and better.

Recycling is no longer a novelty and as we understand more about waste and reusing our resources, and the NSW Return and Earn scheme is playing a major role in making good habits pay on more than one level.

Ocean Shores Public School P&C recently joined the Return and Earn recycling scheme, and launched a fundraising initiative to recreate an outdoor learning space for students.

If you recycle at the Cavanbah Centre in Byron Bay in January and February, Byron's SHIFT Project is one of the local beneficiaries of your recycling payment.
