There is a lack of education. Do people know they have to empty and wash their bottles? Goodness.
i tried to do this but somehow I feel stupid thinking am I wasting more than 10c on the water washing the bottles and cans?

eventually one day I will also stop washing and just throw inside.

The operator of the Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) said on Nov 13 that it takes fraud and the deliberate manipulation of the reverse vending machines seriously, after a man was filmed returning multiple ineligible containers by scanning a single eligible can.

BCRS Ltd told The Straits Times that it is aware of online videos showing the man depositing ineligible containers into a reverse vending machine after scanning an eligible can bearing the 10-cent deposit mark.

Asked if BCRS Ltd if it is investigating the incident, the operator told ST: “We are unable to comment further on the specifics of the case.”

It said that all the reverse vending machines are equipped with digital transaction logs, 24-hour CCTV surveillance and fraud detection technology.

“We also regularly monitor data across our return network to detect any anomalous transaction patterns, and any fraudulent behaviour would be referred to the relevant authorities for investigation and appropriate action,” said the operator.
