Somewhere you know Amy is laughing her head off
Cos she'll say you think I'm the problem?
The fact after I'm gone , there's still a shite storm shows I'M NOT the problem

But fact is there can be TWO stupid people under one roof competing on stupidity

Save environment is just an excuse. If really abt it, shld put all cans and bottles. Not just those with that stupid logo
Environment don't need saving. It is causing inconvenience to humans. What an ignorant species.

The fun part is some coffee shop didn’t even bother to put the 10 cent BCRS on the receipt. Just direction raise all canned drinks to $2 ( with or without the 10 cent logo) and collect back all the cans after the meal.

What nonsense you talking. Dont one hand force money out of ppl in the name of saving environment and on the other hand cause irreversible harm to it.

Increase to 50 cents means that drink just cost that much more, make it even a chore to find and deal with what the redditor already mentioned.

And now also have an added effect of ppl seeing +50 cost upfront and even more uproar will occur.
It is necessary if the intent is to boost recycling rates. It also becomes viable alternative exercise to cardboard collecting.

So confirm now all plastics bottles will need to pay extra 10cents to refund? Cos they purposely print the label small like very difficult to notice... I bought 2 bottles thought old stock but then pay that time then know.. if now all need to go through then I avoid all together...

Like scam as if no one claim deposit then dunno the money goes to whose pocket...

If I want to throw it in the recycle bin why would I walk all the way to a BCRS machine? Scam my 10 cent.

A message on the machine said: “We’re sorry, barcode is unreadable or damaged. Return this to any recycling bin near you. Remove and insert another container, or tap REFUND”.
