can get charge for scamming pap moolah

pap moolah cannot scam one, maybe they will forgive u if u throw in a non bcrs bottle
Indeed most stupid way is to f around with government, example you can dont pay worker salaries, but you can never dont pay govt cpf or foreign worker levy

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

Open close open close later the door jam we have another problem lor.

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.

Someone in Australia already did this way long ago. Maybe they should do away with the machine and every MPS, gets the grassroot leaders to collect the bottles and pays the people according. Better still a thank you card from the MP for encouragement to save the environment.

my area is the smarter machine which even recognised the shape of the bottle/can. once I put in a crush can but barcode is on the flat side, the machine refused to accept.

BCRS is a scam, really.
