Return and Earn

Key Facts:

The Z Power Cowra Return and Earn machine is at 120 Taragala Street, Cowra

It is open daily from 7.00 am to 10.00 pm

Cowra residents have even more locations to recycle their bottles, cans and cartons with the opening of a new Return and Earn machine.

The Z Power Cowra Return and Earn machine is the second return point in the Cowra region, making it easy to recycle eligible drink containers and get your 10c refund.

The machine is located at 120 Taragala Street, Cowra, and it is open daily from 7.00 am to 10.00 pm.

“Cowra Shire Council residents are enthusiastic recyclers, having returned over 40 million eligible bottles, cans and cartons through local return points since the scheme began,” said James Dorney, CEO of TOMRA Cleanaway, network operator for Return and Earn.

“Statewide, more than 14.3 billion drink containers have been returned for recycling through the network of over 660 return points across NSW since Return and Earn began, resulting in over $1.4 billion in container refunds back in people’s pockets.”  

The new machine features four slots, two for glass and two for all other eligible containers.

Users of the machine can print a voucher for the refund amount, which can be redeemed at Coles for a discount on their shopping or for cash. Users can also opt for an e-voucher or payment directly into their bank or PayPal account using the Return and Earn app.

Locals can also donate their refund to one of over 400 donation partners listed on the Return and Earn app, including Little Wings, who provide free air and ground transport for seriously ill or injured children from rural or regional NSW who need life-saving medical treatment in city hospitals.

Alternatively, recyclers can donate to the current statewide donation partner Guide Dogs NSW/ACT. Guide Dogs offers life-changing support for people living with low vision and blindness to confidently navigate their communities.

Return and Earn has become a key fundraising channel for many charities and community groups in NSW. Over $82 million has been raised from donations and fees from hosting return points since the scheme launched in 2017.
