Discussion | Beverage Container Return Scheme BCRS

[Jo13jo]

some can cannot be scan.

my friend kena one, machine cannot accept. then she realise that there is a very small dent which is not visible.

Very weird right?
If 真心 want help save environment, why need filter out can/bottle tat not entitled? Those not aluminum/plastic that can be recycled meh?
Then buy that time already collected BCRS deposit, receipt no more, cannot refund, 找誰說道理？

One machine at each location jsut show there’s not much commitment to it

Probably planning isn't good
Some of the giant machines can take a lot of cans but well it can only allow one person to use at any one time

This whole thing is destined to be doomed from the start.
Talk about foresight, rofl.

Was at Funan fairprice this aftn. Walked past the BCRS machines (yes located deep inside the outlet) and saw a long que caused by this boomer unker with 2 huge plastic bags of cans.

This is srsly getting so ridiculous with BCRS hogged by cans rummagers/collectors.

Can our revered and beautiful Grace FU pls look into this ? Either allocate more machines island wide or better still, scrap the entire stupid ridiculous scheme.

Don't expect anything from them

See the giant mess from the old fogeys demanding seats in MRTs
Nothings been done about that when LTA and MRT can easily declare there's no reserved seating for them

Anyway should tell old man off

Went down after my cleaning shift to return moi coke can, knn got 5 ppl queueing. It's getting popular.. Fcks

 

[deemax]

I don't why the supermarket near my place chose to place the BCRS machine inside their premise, right next to shelfs with products. It's freaking disgusting with flies constantly circling around the machine and foul smell emitting out from it.

No way I am going to do any grocery shopping in this supermarket.

Think the supermarket must have gotten a lot of complaints, they finally decided to shift the BCRS to a corner on the outside.

This boy has no manners at all. Got helper somemore.
Must be those low no upbringing family.
Totally deserved a slap from me
@psyger-zero tio bo.

 

[TickTechToe]

I see people bringing a big bag of cans and bottles to the machine, hogging the queue for those with 1 or 2 cans to return. Can authority limit the number of cans/bottles one people can return to the machine? Maybe max 10 per day

My company used to buy mineral water for works n guests... now gotta explore option of geting dispersee mayb cheaper.. the company pay for bcrs but cannot get back... very stupid..

If i want to buy soya bean drink like 糖仔鲜 or 7-11 i gotta pay sgd0.10 more but if buy the beancurd 豆花 only then do not need bcrs?why not consistent.. both plastic containers just different shapes

Today a few soya bean shops like Lau Ban Dou Hua announced charging of 10cents for the plastic cups and bowls.

I think next they will target bubble tea and coffee house (starbucks, Yakun etc) for takeaway plastic cups.

 

[NoSouL]

Uh no
Small dent won't affect can scanning

Just think about it
All cans etc are to be eventually disposed.
So why should it and bar code be in pristine condition

the dent is on the barcode. She returned 15 cans but only 1 is not accepted. Then she realise the small dent on the barcode area.

Still no
Firstly did machine actually listed out name.of can?
Like state its coca cola.
If yes , then it will go through eventually
Small dent is nothing

Don't challenge me and ask how I know
Then you'll sound like old man I posted yesterday haha

Don’t think bowl got lah. How to fit it the small hole?

 

[s-ghost]

all single individual plastic packaging for your coffee, tea, those supermarket plastic bag, plastic bag that wraps vegetables

all add 10 cents, and refund via BCRS machine

we should put in greater effort to recycle and save earth

 

[dqwong]

Propose used condoms also under bcrs can lah.
