It is a system to game the population for free money if people don't return the can/bottle for the 10 cents refund. Instead, creative people are gaming the system in return. It will cause the BCRS to go into deficit instead of turning a profit.
Good la their karma for trying to scam us for more money.

What recycling more like bs.

Want to implement a stupid solution then cannot expect no people to take advantage of that.
Its the implementation which is a flop

If machine is designed better then it won't happen

I already said the machines i used don't allow that.
You CANNOT hover a can inside the hole and machine reads it. So if you can't do that ,you can't throw a different can into machine

And government cannot speak crap about how they expect people to be all honest
Even LKY will roll his eyes if someone told him the system is based on that
Might as well say put $3000 cash at every machine and people honestly take their share

Hilarious.

This BCRS was meant to be a token campaign for Disgracefu to hit her KPI, end up opening Pandora’s box instead.

Guys, this has the same logic as the numerous MNVOs in the telco market.

It’s for the elderly people to play.

In the MNVOs case, some people do play musical chair, by comparing the nitty details, cuz for about 20 years of their life the telco prices were skyrocket high (think about it as PTSD, they got scar), then suddenly since 10 years ago, telco prices become so cheap. (To me, the multiple telco plans are all the same and similarly priced. I honestly won’t care about the few dollar differences.)

Previously, they created the MNVOs for the elderly to play.

Then now, this BCRS thing. Although, it has also made small children and their family start to have the habit of accumulating plastic bottles and aluminum cans to redeem 10 cents per item.

First and foremost, it’s only 10 cents per item. Even if put in 10 items, it’s just $1.

Secondly, the logic is like putting money inside money bag and passing around, isn’t it?

Anyway, this BCRS thing is here to stay. Other than they have invested a lot of money into creating the machines, half of their objective is exactly to create discussion topic. The more we criticize the topic, the more they have met half of their objective (the other half objective is to really send the items for recycling).

BCRS 2.0 will implement NFC tag for each bottle/can with an unique 64-bit identification code. When you insert the bottle at the opening, the NFC tag will be read once and when the bottle reaches the receptacle inside, the NFC tag will be read a second time. If the second NFC tag read don’t match the one during the first scan, straight away alert mata.

I recall previously got a recycling machine which uses a database to match weight with bar code. That one cannot play cheat. They should just recycle that same concept.

They should quickly catch the culprits and punish them accordingly to serve as a deterrent. The longer they take, more people will try it as they think they can get away with it like those before them.
