Executive Manager at McCallum Disability Services, Matt Vallance, says the response from the community has been overwhelming.
“We’re averaging about 40,000 [cans and bottles] a day, which is about 1.3 million we’ve put through since November 1,” he said.
“[It’s a] really positive start, and we’re opening the second depot in just a few days now to help get people through quicker.”
