The new RVM will be located adjacent to the existing Return & Earn facility at the Quirindi landfill and will be fully automated and available seven days a week.
Residents will be able to exchange their recyclables for vouchers that can be redeemed at IGA Quirindi, donate funds to a charity or other eligible local organisation, or receive funds via PayPal or direct deposit.
A new access roadway has been laid and secure fencing installed.
It is worth noting that council has nothing to do with the running of the machine.

It's expected the machine will be fully operational from Wednesday, September 20.
