Hello Boards. I Wanted to ask you all, where are the reverse vending machines in (or near) dublin?

I've been wondering this for a while now and every so often look into it. I Know there's meant to be one in glenagery near a lidl or an aldi (which a handful of people have told me not to go to glenageary, for safety reasons), but surely there must be others in or around the dublin area. Are there?

Every so often i hear about lidl or aldi or dunnes or tesco having a reverse vending machine that gives vouchers to spend instore, like 5-10 cent or something. but i've never actually came across any of these. Most of the time they're located somewhere miles outside of dublin.

Are there any actually within dublin or close by?

Only one i've ever came across in person was one in a bouujum that requires you to have an app to scan QR codes which their machine sometimes gives if lucky (requires having a touchscreen phone and already having the app downloaded in advance, and requires a purchase in the store to make use of the voucher, which i couldn't find written anywhere online and had learned the hard way).

There were some trial RVMs as part of re-turn testing which gave out vouchers for bottles and cans without paying a deposit first. These, presumably will now be part of the re-turn scheme from Feb. I'm not aware of any others.
