Discussion | Beverage Container Return Scheme BCRS

[ykatcaf]

if pple just throw away the bottle/can without recycling, it eventually becomes an income stream.

Sooner or later, 10 cents will up to 20 cents etc.

TS, the drink supplier will still anyhow increase their price without the BCRS.

Just over at my place already got 2 BCRS machine down, can't refund via Paylah or ezlink. Its been 2 mths or more, yet the machine is not fixed.

Cannot be.
NO ONE complained ?

 

[hotamp]

not a tax bah, more like a penalty/fine for not recycling

 

[lalalalalala]

The 10c collected not even enough to cover for the maintenance, electricity bills, cleaning fees and other miscellaneous fees for the BCRS machines.

Its a money losing business for BCRS Pte Ltd.

U think they so stupid never do the math meh. Its definitely profitable. Even if 100% are returned it's an interest free loan

Its wealth redistribution.
Rich people will just throw the bottle away, poor ppl can claim the money.
1 billion containers which is $100m worth of BCRS money in circulation every year.
Huat ah!

Coe is also a tax. Pap don't called pay and pay for nothing

Won't put it past 4G. But it ish income for car keys since the money doesn't seem to flow into national savings.

Why fix it for TC cleaners to use?

Not true. Hawker centre canned drinks go up gao gao liao. $1.20 become $1.80 liao. The drink makers are part of the BCRS. Cannot import drinks from Malaysia directly also liao.

Actually becos of this , from drinks manufacturers to retailers all opportunist...

I know the manufacturers up per carton price to about $1.8 on top of bcrs $2.4.. So basically a carton increased $4. So even the retailers up $0.20 it covering cost. Some will up $0.30 to 0.40 to make more from this.

No one is controlling.
It is a cowboy town now.

bought a drink, realized is 10c more ex, thought it was coz I bought the cold version.

later then realised is the 10c return.

when to machine, return, only accept DBS Paylah or SimplyGo ez-link card.

whip out my ez-link and scan, TMD, not accepted, coz mine is old type ez-link, cheesepie, got scammed 10c by pap.gov.sg

Faster upgrade to new ezlink

grace Fu will come out and say it's illegal.
just as what she said about picking up from rubbish bins

The earlier statement pertaining to this was quiet about laws against this
Which is weird

 

[Joseph12]

I encountered another weird incident

This staff was clearing the machine
And old man was hovering nearby like more than casual curiosity
Thought it was something but saw he didn't have any cans with him

Then I went first cos he's not doing anything

Turns out he's waiting to ask staff ..... can use ez link card
Staff explained the entire process of 2 different payment
But he keep asking ez link ez link

After I finished i noticed he keep on hovering nearby over next guy

Like he thinks Machine will shoot out ez link card is it
He senile.or what

You can try but usually unless you know them than they talk to you.
Else they think you kaypoh.
Affected I think will cuz since BCRS, the drinks have to be brought locally but not
from Malaysia.

I do notice since BCRS started Beverages are no longer from Malaysia.
Even if have those are old stocks but cannot sell anymore.

 

[86technie]

Anyone your area got more and more people bringing large bags of cans/bottles go recycle.
My area here in Jurong seems like became a family activity or normal activity.
That machine one by one breaking down.

Design failed cannot handle high volumes.
