Working with young people across west and southwest Sydney, Fatina said quite a few of them were also now keenly collecting containers for recycling.
“Returning containers is such a small thing to do, and anyone can do it,” she said.
“The need for support among our most vulnerable young people is growing every day, so it was really exciting to know we were partnering with Return and Earn.”
The partnership means that YOTS will be featured on Return and Earn machines across NSW until October 22, allowing customers to donate their 10c refunds directly to the charity.
As a keen recycler herself, Fatina has enjoyed seeing more people get involved in container returns for a good cause.
“It’s outstanding to see the community coming together, collecting bottles and donating them to ensure young people in need receive the support and opportunities they need to build a positive future,” she said.
