Discussion | Beverage Container Return Scheme BCRS

[Joseph12]

last friday was out at a restuarant and witnessed this dino lady who was having dinner with her family beside us. after they finished and left, she came while a minute to ask the staff where the finished empty can of drink that she ordered. staff informed her already cleared away and into trash bin, she replied she paid for the can that has got BCRS and argued, either they return her the can or they pay her 10ct back. staff went dig trash and gave her back her can.

i tell you, this is just the start.

Nothing wrong at all

I heard some restaurants don't even charge the ten cents which they "absorbed" and they throw the cans for 10 cents themselves

Cos they make money by renting the space for the machine

The space outside is also theirs, I see SS put the machines outside at one far corner.

Im sure there are people who drink canned drinks everyday

I got 1 uncle drink 1 can of soft drinks everyday. He said he prefers can to limit his intake. If drink from 1.5L cannot control himself.

Just make any type of reusable container BCRS.

From amazon cardboard boxes to individual paper cups to baby milk tins.

Otherwise cannot foreign investors to SG and our economy will tank.

Mmm
Probably

Some machines are placed way outside the supermarket

 

[Velton]

I see the floor in front of some of the machines.. so sticky..

 

[Carnage]

Government should really see such plastic wastage especially those tabao container.

We don't drink those canned drinks everyday, we tabao food everyday.

Pls don't introduce more retarded schemes.

It's easy to wash bottles. It's entirely different if we are dealing with food containers. Imagine the amount of pests involved if we don't wash them. It's alot of washing to do if we do.

I still think we should practise what Taiwan and Japan do. Which is just to collect and separate the rubbish by type and have different collection dates.

not that its the right thing to do but if the bottle cannot be accepted because of droplets of water inside, us coolie genes will shake shake it out in front of the machine right

if its milk.. really GG

i ....

10 cents can't get me anything here except plastic bag in this day and age.

But it is serious business for some people. Enough to embarrass themselves and go rummage the rubbish bin or take back from the trash!

Terrible!

as there are beverages with BCRS logo selling in malaysia but only malaysia barcode which are not eligible for refund in the machines

so technically under RSA Act any beverage as long as with BCRS logo can be sold in Singapore but the grey area is these beverage will not be eligible for refund

I didn't bother looking at the law
But I don't think its merely a logo which allows them to be sold in Singapore

Its likely the requirement of the beverage companies being registered and be involved in whole scheme

This type.... either the staff don't care and throw rubbish away including cans or dig through trash for cans later

If latter, guess the staff should be entitled to keep the cans
Or simply improve their work processes by separating food waste from cans

the power and resources consumed by these return machine, power and resources consumed by these server holding the database, power and resources consumed by the company taking this project. i believe the cost is more than 10cents per can.

Can the forced recycling work against all these additional expenditure? only time will tell.

 

[standarture]

I see the belt all very dirty already. Some machines got smell. Especially those disgusting people pick from rubbish bin so dirty alreafy even worse.
