We first met Containers for Change refund point operator, Janelle Zordan in 2018 when we interviewed her for our Change Maker series.
At the time, Janelle ran just the one refund point, Advanced Container Recyclers as part of a scrap metal business, Advanced Metal Recycling.
After seeing how the local community embraced container recycling, Janelle and her team knew they needed to put in more refund points closer to meet customer needs.
FAST FORWARD
Four years later, Janelle now runs four container refund points across East Brisbane – Hemmant, Cleveland and two in Capalaba.
“We wanted to make recycling as easy and seamless as possible.”
DOING IT FOR THE KIDS
“Having the opportunity to be part of the Containers for Change scheme and giving me the chance to leave a greener, cleaner future for my children is amazing.”
