Paper cartons is also recyclable
Saw the logos on same before

Oh.. all along i thought applicable to plastic bottles only… so this paper carton also the same ? Sian.

 

[lalalalalala]

I wonder how those coffeeshops and McDonald's do this

So they collect extra 10 cents and at McDonald's surely customers.will throw it all.in dustbin when done
The staff WON'T dig through trash for bottles etc surely


I saw before at hawker centre , this hawker, not selling drinks , pass a box of cans etc to old woman
I thought its old cans pass to recyclers but she dropped into machine to get her 10 cents

Wow
The guy could have get money for himself but pass to her instead
& as usual old woman have sour look
Don't think she even said thank you to him

Macdonalds use drink fountain bro. The scummy ones are the coffeeshop

They have mineral water and some like milk cartons too right

And so many fast food joints.& food courts

I'm sure many will just pass a can or bottle cos not willing to do the drinks themselves which means they must get the gas cannister as well

 

[Iamnobodyla]

Ya....
Since.they sell food.and not drinks , he probably spends his free time getting cans for her
And I BET 10 cents a can is.more than recyclers pay her


Anyway saw before bunch of cans in those cardboard boxes on floor.of hawker centre
Like 5?
No. I won't take that haha

Last time it was more common that some elderly collect cans for recycling. Not sure why it got less common now.

the only winner in this project is the machine supplier and the cctv supplier

Paper should be non recyclable
I saw is small plastic containers

My record now is 4 days I hit 11 returns
Could be more except I don't really do crazy things like climb up and down.to get bottles etc
Could have hit 13 definitely
14 to 15 very likely

Goes to show how filthy Singapore is.
Haha

Will be even crazy from 1 October cos then all these things can be recycled at 10 cents each

Ok

Now its 12 hits in 5 days!

And to clarify I didn't pay anything for the bottles!

 

[Joseph12]

Some joints are very popular

I see the machine is maxed out with a like red light on machine
Next morning its cleared
Then few hours later its red again

I think some crazy people like must be clearing 100 bottles a day

You can piss off the coffeeshop owner by defacing the logo on the bottle, or squash the bottle.

The state of the country, till people have to start searching for bottles for the 10 cents.

100 x 0.10cents each.. good marnie..

Heh
What i saw is people rip out the plastic wrapper
Leaving the bottle "naked" & hence can't claim money

Those old women or men if diplomatic and smart can raid several hawker centres for their cans and bottles

So 100 is achievable
