I’m sick to death of it. I don’t drive so I end up having to walk two massive bags for life rustling with bottles and cans. Honestly, if I was any further out than I am from a supermarket, I would just consider it a plastic bottle tax and stick them in my recycling (that I still also pay for, and was working fine before the whole DRS thing).

The scheme is just a glorified scam that barely helps the environment at all but certainly makes the rich richer

It’s like finding a tenner under a cushion (in your own home)

I have a hack for the return scheme if you shop at Dunnes. Get a dunnes voucher card and when you do your returns get them to put the money from the receipt onto it instead of off your shopping.
You can even add the gift voucher to your dunnes app.
We did this for a full year and then used the money on the gift card for the Christmas shop. We had saved €190. 35 in return money. That paid for all our Christmas booze and some nice treats.

It’s not meant to reward us. It’s meant to punish us if we don’t return things.

It made me realize some people buy a ton of cans and bottles. Maybe it will make people drink less sugar drinks

Unless you go bottle/can picking

Made over 120e last tear, all free.
It was other peoples cans, I’d spot them walking home so next to no extra work.
It’s great making free money for next to no effort from stupid lazy people 😅

I’ve actually started to avoid buying cans since it came in , probably use it twice a year maybe

Yes, it’s just getting your dubiously taken money back. They have us doing work for free.

Just stop buying plastic bottles and cans.

Fucking hate it. Nothing worse than joining a queue behind lads with a few black sacks worth to get through

I think it’s a good idea, less litter about the place. Any I find while out for a walk with the dog I bring them home and it’s free money. We’re putting it all onto a gift card to have for the Christmas.

I save up the cans and scatter them over Martin’s lawn each Saturday.
I saw somewhere putting the full price on the label the other day again and appreciated it so much more than the bullshit of price + 15c

It costs you to visit and get your money back .

I let my 12 year old organise the bottle return and save the money up for lego. He washes and collects the return stuff and brings it in the car then does the machine. He had been doing it about 6 months before i realised he didnt know how it actually works, didn’t realise the deposit aspect existed

Has anyone ever seen a politician at the machines by any chance? Was thinking it the other day while I was standing there hands manky, having a can after can of Heineken rejected despite 20 of them going in before, that there’s not a hope politicians are doing it themselves, it’s a humiliation ritual for the poors.

All its done is make it harder and more expensive to recycle.

It’s a pain in the fucking hole. We’re all being penalised because of the cunts that don’t care. I fully understand why it had to be done. Doesn’t mean I can’t bitch about it.

I have and use a green bin, everyone pretty much has… Ridiculous scheme

I mean it’s still a form of saving…

What was wrong with the fact the majority of people were using their green bins for their plastic bottles?
