PROJECT HISTORY

One of our major projects is the ‘Hundred Thousand Million’ recycling project or what we now call ‘Bottles and Can’s Collection’.

In 2018 Rotary commenced our ‘Hundred Thousand Million’ recycling project, aimed at raising $100,000 from 1 million recyclables in three years through the NSW Government’s ‘Container Deposit Scheme’. This was achieved in July 2021, precisely three years after the project commenced. Today, we still recycle each week at the NRMA Port Macquarie Breakwall Caravan Park.

Money raised is invested back into the community through projects designed to build and strengthen communities.
