The new recycling system

ive been into a few shops and have not seen the re turn symbol on many plastic bottles?

anybody else notice this?

so far i've only seen them in mcdonalds and in tesco. And not on everything either.

My local Tesco express has been out of most of their beer for the last two weeks and apparently its to do with this.

Also, the machine has been out of order since it arrived. I wonder how many return car trips they expect people to make??

Just seen this on Facebook on Every can Counts.

There’s a new way to recycle cans in Ireland!

How are we all feeling about it?

We recently found that 29% of people in Ireland are not confident about how to use the new Deposit Return Scheme.

So for anyone unsure about how to return their drink containers and reclaim their refundable deposits, we've gathered some tips for you:

First, ensure your drink container has a Re-turn logo – only containers with this logo are included in the scheme, so if your container doesn’t have this it isn’t eligible for the refundable deposit. Also, make sure it is empty of any fluid and is undamaged. If it has been crushed or dented, it won’t be accepted.

Next, take your drink container to a Reverse Vending Machine or return it manually over the counter at participating shops. All Reverse Vending Machines will have clear instructions on how to use them and once you insert your drink container, they will give you a voucher for the refundable deposit.

Finally, take your voucher to the till of a participating shop and choose either a full refund or credit towards your next store purchase.

The team at Re-turn are managing the new Deposit Return Scheme so check out their page for more information. Alternatively, leave your questions below and we'll do our best to help!

It's a FB page to encourage people to recycle their cans at work. Setup long before this system. Was never anything to do with plastic bottles.

Can recycling group promotes how to recycle cans... Shocking!

Of course you manufacture outrage about it. Ffs.

Every Can Counts, means cans.

First, ensure your drink container has a Re-turn logo – only containers with this logo are included in the scheme, so if your container doesn’t have this it isn’t eligible for the refundable deposit.

I see they are spreading misinformation on Facebook too.

I wonder what the budget for the Comms team and advertising is?

They keep updating info and barcodes need to go to manual return desk

In theory it is only supposed to apply to the ones deposits were paid for but in the confusion of the rollout there are some older items getting refunded and some newly purchased items getting rejected.

It's nothing to do with ReTurn.

It's a can recycling action group promoting recycling cans.

It's f*cking ridiculous to take issue with them in your original manner.

Not for profit means that there is even more money going into the pockets of everyone associated with the scam company as there are no shareholders to be answerable too to be acting as a check on their salaries.

But we were already surpassing the targets.

I'd prefer this make-work scheme didn't exist. I have been conscientously washing and sorting all my recyclable waste for at least 20 years. The main purpose of this scheme is to make those involved in it richer.

There is no impropriety when you are paying or collecting hugely inflated salaries. The head of the ESB Networks has for decades been the highest paid head of any electricity utility on the planet. It's corruption, but not as we know it Jim.

'You know what to do' - what a joke. This country enables and lives by scams, they are the literal life-blood of the country.

As someone who takes the occassional walk on country roads - all they had to do was impose deposits on containers of Redbull and Lucozade - 80% of job done.
