Discussion | Beverage Container Return Scheme BCRS

[inmyopinion]

Foreign workers in Jurong are giving away their empty beverage containers to a man and a woman who go around asking for them, Shin Min Daily News reported.

A member of the public tipped the Chinese media off after seeing the man and woman asking foreign workers drinking in public for the containers.

It was believed that they were collecting the containers to receive refunds at the Return Right machines under the Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS).

Eligible containers can receive a S$0.10 refund each.

More people asking for containers​

Shin Min reported that the man and woman were seen holding plastic bags and asking foreign workers gathered outside the mall if they were done consuming their drinks.

For some, this practice is now commonplace.

One foreign worker said he has encountered at least four middle-aged men collecting containers.

The foreign worker said: "After all, it's only worth a few cents, so it doesn't matter if I gave it to them. I told them that I hadn't finished drinking yet, and that I would hang it on the doorknob of a door after I have finished, and they would come to get it then."

Propaganda from another angle ah ?

10cts is nothing to foreign worker whereas locals scour rubbish bins for 10cts ?

Yet their vote share continue to increase. Meanwhile lame duck ex-Lotto diam diam.

Poor sinkie men. Forever losers in the system

Not really. I really learnt a lot during NS. I am not being facetious.

how much is 1 machine¿

What ever the price of each machine and the maintenance crews' salary are also paid tax payers' money. Every BCRS machine should be placed near the letter box of void deck.

 

[virtualape]

they should put the machine next to the refuse collection center of each block...

 

[yakunkia]

I see the machines damn dirty withthe spillages. People don't wash the containers b4 putting in. I bet the machines cannot handle in the long run. Sure breakdown very often or need to replace. I hope the minister will come clean on the cost of maintaining these machines in future.

 

[cet87]

if i am malaysian, can i take a bus in every morning to collect this? its not considered working right?

if can $1000 a month, convert is 3000RM.

Very nice...U tok like a politician

 

[Kanko San]

If dont claim the 10 cents..imagine thousands of dollars just throw away.

 

[tomsss]

why not auto rebate into our account instead

since all transactions nowawadays can be tracked. use AI la, since govt like to harp on tis AI trend

 

[deathan9el]

u mean to say they actually waited for those workers to finish up to the last drop of their drink, before asking for it?

 

[TehOPengSiuDai]

1 per hdb block seems reasonable. 1 per floor abit too much la

Ya can put one at every block considered very good liao.

 

[deathan9el]

while at it, why not place food vending machines on every floors as well?

 

[gravavva]

I wonder if soon will have ppls going around door to door collect cans for 5 cents
