Discussion | Beverage Container Return Scheme

[sacredrays]

Got meh? Not much difference to me, some more I use for parking fee payment at the carpark gantries, fastest is 24 hours. If you mean Bus/MRT then IDK liao.

got leh. at first i thought others talking nonsense also. but it seemed nerfed after they merged the now discontinued ezlink app over to simplygo app. used to be instant fyi, or maybe it's just the ezlink app?

I start to see alot of elderlies aggressively dig dustbins to recycle liao. Is it matching the objective?

Some one generated a posting about the project.
Maybe more details should be provided on why we are spending so much on this project.

My question is whether the admin is spending the funds wisely on the residents instead of wasting them on some useless fancy project.

But they said 1 million transactions, didn't say each transaction is how many containers returned mah.
So how it could still be 5.5 million containers returned with 1 million transactions, if each transaction was for a return of 5 - 6 containers

saw from your previous posts that you are using iphone. not sure iphone can or not.

but android phones can just use simplygo app to scan using nfc to check transactions, balance and top up non-simplygo ezlink cards.

My iphone SE can as I just now use the simply go to scan my spare card via the NFC but very strange is the naming part but still added successfully.

so are you able to see the deposit refund 10cents in your non-simplygo ezlink card?

I used Net FlashPay ezlink card, the machine cannot detect. So i need to use Paylah!

i will say the app still not prefect as if you add the card in the apps, it will not show the latest transactions. Only when you select the check card details and rescan then it will show the full transactions once.

As it seems... they are glorifying it for "Someone"???

anyway.

waste of resource.

 

[TUV2008]

Throw into blue bin sua.. can afford canned drinks these days already life not easy liao. Dun 纠结with 10cents

Precisely, the whole effort of going to the machine certainly worth more than $0.1. sinkie really fail in math

 

[kopiOkid]

There must be accountability if so many are reporting that refunds are failing.

I will take their present data with a pinch of salt now.
Who else neutral can verify or check on them ?
Zero, Nil, None.

Last I heard, some of the machines already passed away.

No worries
if the govt see that not enough cans being collected thru the machine, then they will increase the deposit amount to $0.20. if not enough then increase till more people return the cans, or less pple buy canned drinks

either way objective is achieved, enviornment is saved

Today I hit FIVE!
My new record
After debacle yesterday

I also discovered

1. Singapore is filthy
I saw a can like 3 days ago
I came back , its still there

And for every 2 cans i got maybe I saw like 10 and more cans littered

2. I think I know how those people managed to get giant bags of cans and bottles
Its from dustbins
I saw tons of them in dustbins

I think easy to make $10 a day or $8 from doing it

3. Some people left empty cans etc on top of dustbins etc

 

[Asphodeli]

Moi free money/self-consumption stats is about 1:1 since I picked up/bought the first BCRS bottle hit $5 liao after 3 months...huat ah!

So you got 50 bottles without paying for them?

 

[Asphodeli]

I returned around 50 bottles; around half is collected from coffeeshop, beer bros, carpark/void deck, etc. The other half is my own bottles that I paid for when I buy drinks.
