Recycling Centre Attendant in Brisbane

At TOMRA, transformation is at the heart of everything we do. We transform ideas & technology to create intelligent and pioneering tools to support a sustainable future. For decades, we’ve pushed boundaries globally and we’ll continue to drive greater resource responsibility throughout industries and society. Here in Australia, our reverse vending machines enable the collection of empty drink containers to ensure that containers have the best chance of being turned back into containers again – time after time. In QLD and WA we partner with Containers for Change to provide convenient options for our customers to recycle their beverage containers in the hopes to encourage them to join the Clean Loop Recycling revolution!
