The Return and Earn can and bottle recycling service, operated locally by Cobar Camels Rugby Club members, re-opened last Thursday after being closed for a month due to the COVID lockdown. Volunteer collector, Cairo Haronga (pictured above at left with customer Michael ‘Dog’ Lawrence), reports they have been kept busy since they reopened. On just their first day they filled half a container of bottles and cans. When this photo was taken on Friday afternoon, the service was just as popular with a number of cars lined up with locals keen to drop off their hoard from the past month. The club uses the proceeds from the service to help with their running costs.
