Every day, Aaron takes the school bus (a two hour trip) into Wagga Wagga to work at Kurrajong Recycling.
Aaron loves his job, because of the people that he gets to work with. While making friends at school was always hard for him, Aaron really feels the sense of community between him and his co-workers.
Having the job enables him to contribute to the bills at home as his grandmother lives on the pension.
