MILTON-FREEWATER — The Breadbasket Emergency Food Pantry in Milton-Freewater recently cashed in with a $1,500 donation from the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative.
Warren Zipperer has become a familiar sight in the inner suburbs of Cairns. When he really commits, he can make up to $200 a week to help pay for fuel and a "better lifestyle" but it's hard and dirty work.

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.
