Spotted in the wild… our new bin baskets are here! 👀♻️
Have you seen these Return and Earn baskets popping up around town? We’ve launched a pilot program at 50 busy spots across Port Stephens so you can drop your eligible bottles, cans, and cartons in the right place.
Why use them?
✅ Leave your containers here as a 10c gift for others to collect and redeem
✅ It reduces litter in our beautiful parks and streets
✅ It ensures valuable materials stay out of landfill and in the recycle loop
Next time you’re out, don’t bin it - basket it! 🧺

🎶 I'll tell you 'water' want, 'water' really, really want, so tell me what you want, what you really, really want! 🎶😜
