[Asphodeli]

Damn jialat sia. Because of this bcrs, hawker centre canned drink up price gao gao. I shocked when I got charged $1.80 sia.....

Kopitiam now charge $2 to $2.30 ... not only bcrs. All suppliers charging more ...

At this rate we're going, vending machine will be the cheapest liao

Luckily we have far-sighted beyond the horizon policy-making in Singapore.

This will help embed the recycling culture in Singaporean psyche

We are living in lucky country indeed

Another photo, another news, I think our govt is numb and consider this as part of "margin of error". Have BCRS or no BCRS, people will still be doing the same thing. And our dumpster diving % likely in line with world standard.

Maybe we should get hold of our MP mobile numbers and send them these photo. Then they do not have reason to say, "I am not aware."

mothership should have more positive news instead of always negative news

This simply shows that our highly paid ministers are very effective at incentivizing the population to go green and hence deserve their salary

 

[Atilas]

It is a very successful initiative as it creates a byproduct as a new form of night life after banning sale of alcohol after 10:30pm or a family bonding activity.

Next up, we should have CBRS (Cigarette Butt Return Scheme)
For every cigarette butt return to the machine, 10 cents will be reimbursed.

This will promote clean environment as smokers will not simply throw the butt into bushes.
And other non-smoker can go around picking up cigarette butt for refund.
Singapore will be squeaky clean in no time.

 

[Tloslm]

Fine these people $100 for diving dumpster

 

[Dopod007]

Disgraceful should expect this dumpster diving if she put monetary value in the bottles and cans, so how can she ban this now? Scrap this stupiad BCRS if don't want people to rummage through dustbins...

 

[socratesg]

Eggmy Koh and Grace Fu and are srsly useless af.

The former instituted the stupid tray return that caused so many of our elderlies to be suddenly out of hawker centre jobs.

Now these seniors have no choice but to rummage bins for 10 cents cans and the latter has the cheek to say it's Illegal ??

KNS both shd go jiak sai so stupid.

SG: a nation of dumpster divers

Poor people need to survive, of course they will do what they can to survive, how gov threaten them also no use. They are in survival mode.

This stupid problem is Gov ownself created one. It only exposes the dark truth of our society.

Ok its mentioned that this is against the law, but dont know how the enforcement is.. Im personally ok, as long as they dont make a mess and are considerate enough to put whatever back to its place.. Even if they dont, what can u do frankly.. Im definitely not going to pick a fight with them either..

Regardless, i think ppl taking video are more likely towards out to shame or putting viral content rather than addressing/helping why these ppl are doing this..
