Discussion | Beverage Container Return Scheme BCRS

[bombshell]

All the grab drivers shld quit their sunset industry and pivot to BCRS industry.
$100 million worth of recyclable containers in circulation every year, you don't want other ppl will take first.
Some say even better than gold mining.
Huat ah!

Hi tech high value employment

Authorities should investigate how she obtained that many bottles and containers. An MP already came out and said rummaging through garbage bins for recyclables is illegal.

if one day our mata go arrest some poor folk rummaging the bins, we would really be world first ...

 

[whatheheck]

Shld be fnb?
Actually they shld have a diff drop off for fnb

The big ones have bah, need to register then withhold the cans and customers don't need pay the deposit , but need to pay fees for truck to collect. Small ones don't have such a big volume ,doesn't make sense to lose marnee calling for collection so end up do the same as public only by one Tum Tum Tum inside ....

 

[barbaricboon]

Most of the cans were beer cans. Most likely from coffeeshops

 

[WaterNinja]

She is staff of F&B outlet?

 

[lousylah]

Could be staff working at restaurant. I saw servers compiling them.

Yes, many f&b, 7-eleven, gas station even hotel staff are consolidating cans/bottles to stuff nearby machines during their shift (seen many times in town area)

Saw an article some guy in germany collect for 42 days to buy a ps5.

...and he need to collect more to afford the games.
in the end he has no time to play anything but collect cans

 

[fade_white]

Should have a different kind of machine to cater for large scale and businesses right?

 

[Acetone]

Professional Recycler! Thank you govt for creating new jobs for sinkies!!

 

[rider83]

No one notice how MANY BIG plastic bags are used to collect these bottles/cans? I thought we are supposed to reduce the usage of the plastic bags?

Germany is 25 cents per container

I see people go around look into trash cans hoping to find some containers

Yes they do that I'm sure

 

[Joseph12]

I've been thinking of it

& for all those who kept on asking
A great place to try out trawling is .... McDonald's

Now hear me out
Firstly the staff don't care about bottles.
They are too busy flattening rubbish and later removing them
Cos way too much rubbish

Secondly the new development means all their cans etc can be thrown in machine

Thirdly of all the nonsense I ever see there , harvesting isn't even top 5

The only thing is are you thick skinned enough to do it
