Return and Earn response
So, let me get this right: State government gives 10c for refund. A case of my favourite beer has increased by 24c per bottle at the retailer. Somehow I am 14c a bottle out of pocket. I recycle through the yellow bin. Everyone except the consumer is happy!

Its wonderful to see kids doing it for pocket money. Although have seen kids going through neighbourhood bins. A clap to the kids who are knocking on peoples doors asking if they can have their bottles.
Sandra Moscarda
I didn't even know Tura had one. I have been travelling from Pambula to Bega for my refund.
Kayla Hempenstall
Great for local kids doing neighbourhood collections for pocket money.
Kate Smith
Love it. My daughter is so excited about recycling now.
Katrina Newlyn
Great, easy to use, donate to charity and worthwhile recycling. Remember people we all need to reconcile our lifestyles even if it's a little inconvenient.
Colleen Stewart
This scheme will be a rip-off unless I can get a refund in the same town where I bought the bottle! The idea that I can walk to the supermarket but have to drive to the next town to reclaim the deposit is insulting!

Need designated parking near them it would be safer, otherwise great.

Fluoride decision
I see no-one complains about drinking chlorine but you're all worried about the fluoride. This is great for the community.
Mia Parsons
What an absolute joke! Pressure from above outweighs the majority of the community. This decision needs to be challenged.
Lynn McColl
What a very good, appropriate and science based conclusion! Thank you.
Rob Morton
Sanity prevails.
