Horsham’s AXIS Worx processed its 10-millionth container on Tuesday, putting $1-million back into the community, while supporting people with a disability in employment.
Director of Social Enterprise Bill Schmidt said the container deposit scheme started about 16 months ago.
“We’re really grateful for the support the community has been able to provide to us – we’re here to promote employment to people with disabilities and every time people use our facility, they know they’re contributing towards disability employment,” he said.
“Keeping stuff out of landfill is great, but to be able to put a million dollars straight back into the community in that short timeframe while supporting disability employment is fantastic.”
