Clean Up Australia, Chairman Ian
Kiernan AO, also had this encouraging news to report, "Improving recycling
rates would also help each NSW household reduce the almost
one tonne (0.9 tonne) of greenhouse gas emissions they produce each
year by sending waste to landfill. A refund scheme in South Australia has proven its worth and if run together with the kerbside recycling councils offer there would be a big change to what turns up year after year in our waterways, parks and roadsides. Let’s bring back the seventies, when cash for cans was hugely popular and community organisations could raise badly needed funds by setting up collection depots. It’s a win-win for the environment and the economy.”
