Containers for Change is the talk of the town

GENERATING JOBS FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

North Queensland Green Solutions joined the Containers for Change scheme in July 2019. Operating as a social enterprise, the container refund point (CRP) in Ayr has a strong focus on providing employment and training opportunities for people with disabilities, injuries or health conditions. Since its inception, the CRP has created eight new full-time jobs in a town of just over 8,700 people, with additional casual staff joining at peak times. The town has embraced the CRP which processes an average of more than 130,000 containers per week, returning an average of $13,000 in refunds to the community.
