I just tried the Indian worker's trick

CAN'T get it to work
He hovered the can inside machine then throw can in.
I tried that and got error message
Doesn't work

Will try again later

I tried again
DOESN'T seem to work
I don't know what he's doing

Cos When you hover can A in his right hand, the machine doesn't read can A like that.
Seems like you need to place can A in machine itself then it can be read.

Now, the caveat is can B in his or my left hand has 10 cents logo so it will go through cos of that

That means I can see machine read can B and not can A cos can B is in machine itself

I didn't put a can without logo in machine via my left hand
So those who feels brave and wants to try can do that

just now i put a can of red bull, no damage and got sticker and got rejected by the machine.

The can of red bull i bought from the shop is next to the machine. I went and asked, the shop worker also no solution.

Is the machine fully tested before they put out to the market? i guess no, dumb stupid idea from jlb minister!
I am also unable to process my Red Bull can that has bcrs sticker

technically i have a questions. for those cans with sticker barcode, it can still be recycle meh? in japan, i remember such sticker needs to be pull off also. or this is another fake recycling attempt again.

My Donki Sapporo can got rejected by four machines now. Asked Donki staff, and was told to contact BCRS...

Two of my Breda cans from 7-11, which are also the kind with BCRS sticker pasted on, also got rejected by the two machines I tried today.

Failed so far across five machines for stickers on my Sapporo, Breda and Red Bull cans

While I'm all in favour of recycling, this entire scheme feels more like a job creation exercise more than anything else. The footprint to build the machine, and run the machine not sure outweighs the previous free for all recycling approach.

Ha

Saying that is like uh..... laughing at somebody for being unable to reach across table to allegedly slap someone for alleged slight against him.
Little do you know .....

Next these machines will have cleanliness detectors. If chao sinkies don’t wash clean with soap will auto reject and money deducted from their EZLink or PayLah.
