An automatic bottle and can recycling facility has been proposed for a warehouse site in Rockhampton City.
Australian recycling company, Return-It Pty Ltd, has lodged plans for a facility at 220 Kent St, near Derby St, Rockhampton City.
The facility involves the sorting of bottles and cans using manual methods and automated sorting equipment and machines.
Return-It depots aim to provide easy and convenient options for customers for container recycling and sorting through the Queensland’s Containers for Changes scheme.
Customers take empty beverage containers and staff will accept the eligible containers and put them through the sorting machines or undertake manual counting.

Polystyrene foam food containers and cups as well as single-use plastic straws, stirrers, cutlery and plates will all be banned from September 1, 2021 under new legislation passed by Queensland Parliament today (WED?).
Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said there was overwhelming community support for banning these types of products which were too often discarded thoughtlessly.
“Plastic pollution is spoiling our streets and parks, escaping into our ocean and waterways and killing our iconic wildlife,” Minister Scanlon said.
