An interview was had about the CDS and how some operators were not taking containers that would not scan through the reverse vending machines.   The intent of the scheme is to get containers back for recycling.  The operators get paid per container so it is costing themselves money to not take the elegible but non scannable containers.

The Leadership Award was won by Jaqui O’Leary from 3198 Seaford Beach Patrol. Since becoming group manager in August 2018, Jaqui has run dozens of beach cleans, coordinating over 1800 volunteers to remove 1,682 kilograms of waste from our beaches. Jaqui has transformed Seaford clean-ups by implementing a continually developing waste sorting system, and much more.  

The Teamwork Award was won by 3199 Frankston Beach Patrol. Each month, dedicated volunteers from 3199 Frankston Beach Patrol head to the beach to pick up litter that has been blown, dropped or washed up onto our foreshore. 3199 Frankston Beach Patrol continues to raise awareness of the impact that litter, packaging and plastic continues to have on our coastline and local marine environment through monthly clean-ups and regular environmental education sessions at the beach.
