If you have a green bin it’s pointless waste of time.2min of my life I’m not getting back.i could have made passionate love to my better half and still had time to make a humorous Reddit post.but alas my wife and Reddit are saved from disappointment and some cans that were already being recycled get to keep being recycled.
One I’ve yet to try, do the vouchers go though the self service tills in Tesco etc? As In can you scan them and only them and get a pay out and not buy anything. I’ve a few in my wallet as the customer service desk is usually closed when I go over in the evenings.
No tap?
I’ve gone to 5 machines in the last week all out of order. I went back to one and it was turned off it’s like the shop just gave up on it! I’ve now got a bag of bottles in my car
Get a water filter instead. Far cheaper than bottled water.
And when you bring them back the machine will be out of order.
Money bags over here buying Evian , give me them to return don’t think ya need the few coins
Today, I saw a homeless guy with three carts full of recyclables. He stopped to let me recycle my stuff. When he did, the machine spat out a 30 euro voucher for him. Pretty wild.
Put it in a Heatons bag. Nobody is going to mug you then.
Great isn’t it!
I’m getting one of these bad boys to bring my Guinness cans back without damaging them.
Dunnes Stores 4.60 6ltrs for water like madness anyways went to dealz to deposit the bottles and the machine was broke
How much you get back for this?
Return to sense, bygob Padraic Pearse didn’t die for this. He died for something… can’t remember… but not for this.
I used to try buy cans the whole time cause of recycling cans is better but since drinks jumped in price cause of the return scheme cans are too expensive
The scheme is interesting, the UK grocer mentioned the Irish scheme as a criticism of the UK government pushing there’s back to 2028 and in the article which is 1 or 2 weeks old it gave a figure of 6 million bottles returned in Ireland so far.
That was 1 or 2 weeks ago, me being a weirdo I took out one of the small coke bottles and weighed it got around 24g so even if they were all small bottles a very ball park estimate of 144 metric tons of clear PET actually being recycled which is fairly decent… that’s assuming the flake is being used here in Ireland and getting to businesses here, I know prior to the scheme manufacturer who had setup plants to re-use bottleflake and convert back into clear PET were having to import it because our infrastructure was shite and there wasn’t much flake here but if the flake from these schemes is making its way to Irish manufacturers then its a really big win on multiple fronts, less to landfill, less carbon footprint from manufacturers having to import from Europe and the far east and less plastic dumped around the place.
Noticed locally a open planes area usually strewn with empty sports drink bottles has been spotles recently.
I really want this to be a scheme that works because prior to this our recycling infrastructure was shite, most stuff was being exported, going to landfill, being hidden in cowboys sheds so they could collect cash and going to “Energy recovery” which is politician speak for they burn it.
Now all we need is the government to take an actual stance on laminates and push for flexible plastics to be monosubstrates with identifiers because the UK is way ahead of us on reusing flexible like BOPP/OPP or LDPE but our infrastructure just leads to it being burned.. then they need to ban shite like PLA that can 1/1000 ratio can render recycled PET unusable and we are getting places.
If they also set a hard percentage limit on air/ empty space in packaging where it doesn’t serve a purpose other than to occupy more shelf space for advertising then we are really rolling.
Real talk though, make sure the bottle has the logo and is in fine condition(not creased, bottlecap on and the wrapper still left on). Treat them like a manchild treats their Pokemon cards. Also, if the machine doesn’t work for ya, some shops will take them off you.
It’s ironic that you used the bag with the most unnecessary plastic to transport your recycling.
Y💞🦜🦜🦜🦜🤯🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Some flex 😂
I’ve a nice bridge I can sell ya too.
Will you marry me 🤩
Have tried 3 times, never had the luxury of a working machine. Instead had to have half a cart full of empty cans during my shopping.

Man is going to be €2.75 richer than me. Huge W
Tell me you’re fancy without telling me you’re fancy
Tis far from evian you were reared
It’s actually ridiculous we have to do this when have a bloody green bin system.
This new system actually made me realise how little plastic bottles I buy.
Are plastic milk carton included in this scheme?
Another absolute scam. Why am I paying for a green bin????????
Step 1: Collect Evian Bottles
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Profit
