"Green" policies are destroying this country

No mate,you only get the deposit back when you return it, the price hike to pay for the provision of the scheme is built into the purchase price and nonrefundable.

The future under the greens

Then who will pay for it and how much will it cost ?

Far as I can see there are only two possibilities, the consumer or the State

I get "nope" because thats all you have, once again you're stumped. I have done business for a long time in this country, I know how it works and I know for a fact nothing is free, the consumer WILL pay. I also know that in your green utopia every body will be poorer.

It is, of course, nonsense to cite one storm or one entire season as evidence of anything. But seeing as the Greens, their acolytes and the meeja now do it incessantly, I wouldn't like the Atlantic hurricane season to pass without noting that:

Who is funding the Deposit Return Scheme?

The management and operation of the Deposit Return Scheme does not cost the public or government any money at all. The system is funded through producer fees for each product placed on the market.

There you have it folks, the producer is charged fees for each product they produce for the market and then they expect said producer to NOT pass on cost to consumer

Who handles the removal of collected drinks containers?

Re-turn will issue tenders for the collection and transport of deposit returned material in addition to promoting the use of reverse logistics for the collection of material from the scheme. 

More lucrative contracts for those in the green circle.😉

Thanks for the link Decor, maybe you should reappraise your MO of uploading links here, quite a few times your own links have come back to bite you on the ass.

Best I can see from that is that it is going to be paid from a levy on producers which in real terms means it will be the consumer paying.

No mention of how much that will garner for the government or how much this scheme will cost that I can see from that link unless I missed it ?

Do all Retailers have to register with the Deposit Return Scheme?

Yes. All Retailers that sell ‘in scope’ drinks – PET plastic bottles, aluminium/steel cans from 150ml to 3 litres - must register with Re-turn in order to fulfil their environmental and legislative responsibilities. Initial registration will open in late November 2022 and all Retailers will be provided with timelines to complete their registration.

Every retailer has to adhere to greenies edict, there will be no dodging scheme, the extra cost to consumers cannot be avoided.

It's a fcuking con job from a bygone era.

It's for City apartment living, like German cities not suburban semi detached homes who's Tennants already pay for kerbside collection.

It's a revenue rasing trick to pay councils for street cleaning.

The crazy gang need sacking.

😂 go on outta dat.3 nopes in one evening, thats a new record, shot yourself in the foot again with the link.🤣

A bit of advice, read your links before you post them, you might be on more stable ground then.😉

I see there's another Beast from the East being forecast from the 5/6th December onwards with very cold weather.

That's going to stress our network big time as there may not be much wind.
