I was in Dunnes on a Saturday which had three machines. Only one was working. Busy Saturday shopping day and some people got fed up and left
Also the one can at a time is a pain.
I'm sure it'll improve but it ain't without flaws.
By the sounds of that Claire Byrne interview on Monday they don't use the internet connection very often
I remain worried that this scheme is not going to meet our 90% goal.
If this scheme doesn't make the 90% goal, if it is lower than the 60% figure we already have, there would certainly be a case for scrapping the scheme. If that happens then chances are they'll go down the route of taxing the products so we use less of them
Another thing to remember is most products still aren't returnable so people won't go to the shop with 1 or 2 empty cans and will probably pop them in the usual recycling bin. As more cans and bottles come in scope that might change
Not at all. If you backed up your unconvincing statement in any meaningful way, I'd believe you.
What was the photo of the signage? Only issue I had with Supervalu was when their machines weren't even up and running, and I was told it would be another month. And then when they were up and running, they had no place for rejected cans.
Post #2219 here https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121836833#Comment_121836833 but some people want it to be verified by video evidence and numerous other ways to believe it's real.
no i don't work for waste collectors, and it was 800 large bottles at 25c xD
i come across a good portion of them from work, which involves installing certain things or dealing with specifics.
I put mine on the radiators-long before the scheme started
Sorry for the delayed reply, yes it did.
Just curious on this. So washed out and dried on your radiator to then put in green bin? Local bottle banks?
Brought to Lidl when they were giving free money before the gov scheme came in.Didnt want beer and soft drinks liquids all over my hands before spending the free money.A quick rinse and Joe's your aunt.Really upset that its come to an end haha Was worth a nice few euro while it lasted.
No, because that's just a post on social media. The action of returning the 800 cans/bottles will help get us to that figure though
Not sure why you redacted the number below the barcode, but then did not redact the barcode itself.
You do know how barcodes work? 9887205712403050091020025
nah emptying Street bins in a town, nice little earner if that's the case.
his bosses " why are there so few bottles and cans in your bags ? "
anyway good for you I bet those bottles weren't going in a plastics only recycling bin previously (which they should have been if you're emptying that many)
Elderly man putting cans into the machine at Aldi Ennis today, I'd say two shopping bags worth of them.
No lie, about every-second-one was rejected and he put into the reject bin. What a depressing system. Fella getting robbed blindly. People getting f'd without any lube and they just have to take it.
Howls of take your containers in store to complain in 3 2 1...
Imagine people using that argument.
Demeaning yourself to going into the shop like a loser with your bags of cans/bottles begging for your deposit back, inevitably being embarrassed by the staff who have a reason to deny you the chance to do that when you're there and to come back at another time.
I would be taking them instore if they had the logo after the machine rejected them.
Were the cans returnable or just a bunch of old cans mixed in with new cans?
For me, given that they were all the one brand probably says they were all returnable - probably a multipack. Making assumptions obviously but it’s an educated assumption.
Fair enough, weird that some from a multipack were accepted and some not if they all had the same barcode. Crazy stuff really.
so that's a yes then? not sure if boards counts as a social media though, it feels more like a forums than anything.
it was 800 large bottles to be clear.
i've found that bottles damage less and give me money and are faster to deposit, but also = more pain. i might just stick to cans and small bottles from now on. i usually use bin bags but for this i had to use a large skip bag, as large bottles take up way more space.
Go to Liveline thread where you can see one way of out-foxing machines 😁😁😁
Thanks! the bottles where clean, unused, and less than a week old. i don't go near other peoples bins or dig through neighbors trash like some are suggesting, but still a nice little earner nonetheless xD.
Might spend the money on a ticket and go on a small holiday, will need to see if i have any spare days off left at work first and extra holiday pay.
Hats off to you @BoardsBottler I am delighted you are getting something from the scheme.
Obviously you are quids in with this - not having personally paid the deposit - but are you at liberty to say if a deposit had been paid by others? You don't need to answer that if you don't want to, I am still loving that there is a win for you and hope that you continue to cash in.
CH3OH rose to Liveline thread challenge and got a voucher that nobody first paid a deposit on
That’s got to be a winner!
All attempts accepted here using whatever roundup thing you’re disposing g of anyway, which has not had a deposit paid. Goodness knows ReTurn are robbing us on slabs of water without barcodes but on which a deposit has been paid.
Its a farce at this stage, lol, lads loading toilet rolls with bar codes stuck on into machines.
He clearly has an OnlyCans account
