Convenience franchise, 7-Eleven, has teamed up with Envirobank Recycling, the company behind reverse vending recycling machines, rolling out a trial of the first two Envirobank machines in NSW’s Kensington South and Victoria’s Brandon Park.
Similar to a vending machine, customers can deposit an empty plastic bottle, aluminium can or plastic Slurpee cup into the machines, located out the front of the 7-Eleven sites, and receive a reward voucher for instant redemption in that 7-Eleven store.
During the two month trial, free gifts will include a Slurpee upgrade or $1 Cadbury chocolate bar, but luckier recyclers will be in with a chance to win an Apple iPad, iPod Touch, eight $25 fuel vouchers or four one month free Slurpee cards.
