Discussion | Beverage Container Return Scheme BCRS

[buttbERry]

still havent fix this loophole?

 

[Joseph12]

I think the system will weigh the can before payment is effected. So if you just scan, scan, scan but no can thrown into that 'hole', there will be no payment.

Still a c0ck up cos a bbt cup is like near unlimited supply

The guy will be exhausted or system shut down before he exhaust his used bbt cup supply for the day
Or he can get those McDonald's cups or those juice cups

 

[Joseph12]

It will be a massive joke if they can jail people for not returning trays but can't touch people for getting money off from government without giving them the cans or bottles

My 2 cents suggestion to improve the machine design.

1st cent
- place bottle/can in with the barcode up
- a small door to close that up first before scanning the bottle/can and drop it down to be crushed
- small door reopen up for bottle/can to be inserted again.

2nd cent
- roll the bottle/can down to somewhere forst, before a larger scanner scans it
- if invalid, release the invalid out

So troublesome come I suggest a better one.
Scrap BCRS and whoever approve this step down.

I don’t think it was a cock-up. I myself had already thought of this loophole. But they probably think that this is the most cost-beneficial way.

As an example, if you go to most supermarkets for example, you find that there is no security pedestals near the exit. The supermarkets know that some will just walk out without paying. It is more cost-effective for the supermarkets to do nothing about it.

 

[86technie]

Possible reason why they let that loophole continue: cuz it’s really a plastic recyclable that is dropping in. (Although, to drop something else other than plastic bottle or aluminum can is really cross the line.)

So those people think they have gamed the system. But actually, they are just making themselves happy. They actually still contributed a recyclable plastic or aluminum after all.

Just don’t drop other things, else will get charged for damaging the machine.

I did notice this uncle throw other stuff like food container into the machine.
Worth it or not just for 10 cents than go jail and fine.
The amount you earn you can't even pay fine.

"The agency also urged the public to use the Return Right machines responsibly in support of national recycling efforts."

If they are serious about recycling efforts, then please allow the return of hawker center plastic containers for food and drinks, and refund the ten cents and fifty cents.

Old man can't wait to go jail. Inside 3 meals per day and sick got doctor all FOC

 

[testerjp]

Why not just scan the legit bottle then throw bricks in.

 

[coolmyth]

When will have unlimited 10 cents hack?

 

[qcy888]

@articland05, is that you? Pls come clean!

 

[DynamiteZerg]

It is a system to game the population for free money if people don't return the can/bottle for the 10 cents refund. Instead, creative people are gaming the system in return. It will cause the BCRS to go into deficit instead of turning a profit.

 

[SecretAgent]

Imagine the excitement of unlimited 10cent hacks in life at 70s!

Must be feeling it's worth living for .....

bcrs can't be just for plastic bottles and cans alone. I suppose they will expand to other plastic stuff in future and call it a huge success

 

[muji4832]

Want to implement a stupid solution then cannot expect no people to take advantage of that.

 

[Visor9999]

Now everybody going try to test if it works..

Changi prison won’t be big enough if that’s happens

 

[DiamondJuice]

See la now must spend more money on cctv and system enhancement
