Deposit return scheme (recycling)

Majority of people(Me included) will not bother retaining cans in pristine condition in their house, the beauty of cans is they can be crushed and easily disposed of in the recycling bin, for a lot of people this is simply another tax.

What does that mean? So you can still return them?

Yes.

Producers/importers can pay a higher fee and use the same barcode as they use internationally; these may not have the logo on them in the interim.

Basically outside of the main soft drinks, Irish supermarket own brand products and most beer a lot of stuff will be in that category.

You can definitely return that

I very much doubt that a majority will start throwing away money.

A can of 4.3% beer currently sells for €1.69 at minimum price.

11 cans returned will yield €1.65.

Most beer drinkers I know would rather have a can of beer than throw the price of it away in the bin.

I was in town yesterday and I saw in Dunnes they had one inside their shop which is also located within a shopping centre.

Surely if this scheme is going to work these machines should be accessible 24/7 and not within shops opening hours.

Beep boop boop, beep! Oh it's so obvious now how stupid of the man not to recognise that 13 digit code and consult his copy of eligible barcodes available at that intuitive and easy to type URL.

Simple and convenient for everyone 😅

/sarcasm, which is directed at the scheme, not any posters here

He should have actually tried to get the return before going online to complain about not getting it; considering he actually will get it.

The "there might be stock that works with no logo" bit hasn't been explained anywhere; though.

And in all fairness. the Re-Turn website repeatedly and consistently claim that the logo is required to both be charged the deposit and to redeem it. This is only a quick selection from the home page:

Nope. You can feed the machine until it bursts, I guess. Someone mentioned on one of the threads that the machines can accept, scan and process containers quicker that a human can physically insert them. But they obviously have a storage limit.

Yeah the storage thing immediately popped into my head. I kinda assume most people will be bringing a bag of bottles/cans per visit and the machines don't exactly seem huge

i would disagree about the euro, it was sudden chaos. i still remember the exchange rate at the time drummed into my head even to this day (£1 is €1.27 or some places say €1.26). Yet alot of the shops was taking advantage and charging €2 instead. And then the change given was in their favor too! to get this new funny money, one had to spend irish money and then would recieve euro money as change. i'm sure the banks were most likely offering a direct swappage but it was'nt advertised as such anywhere, and alot of people were told to go to the shop and buy something, or somthing. Alot of people took the bait as the new money was a form of novelty at the time, and overlooked being ripped off. i think there's even an article on the wiki about it, or a part that mentioned about bsinuesses taking advantage. Businuesses had no excuse regarding the rates as euro money had already existed in ireland since the 90s, via banks, just not in physical form, until the roll-out. Everyone was loosing their sheet.

Not really, the machine gives a coupon which you need to redeem in store. Most people will be bringing the items back before doing going into the store.

If the store was closed... but you bought a can or bottle somewhere else in the shopping centre \ nearby cinema or something, then yes you would probably prefer to redeem there than keep hold of the item.

I read the machines have an option to donate to charity so someone might roll up with a load for that purpose outside shopping hours e.g. that they got from home deliveries, or collected from others, or picked up as garbage cleanup.

they could have been bluffing all along, i pointed this out much earlier in the thread like 40 pages or so back and was called a liar and a conspircy theorist
