Ah sure sure just checking if its same product. I like this yogurt hehe. But the last few weeks I buy no have this BCRS logo, but then I wasn't charged 10c. All bought at Giant/Cold Storage.

Fairprice ah, Fairprice, why u like this?

 

[zetraw]

So far no comment from government, likely extremely successful from the deposits collected.

 

[eyz]

wah now i buy canned drinks from coffeeshop, must bring the can home to claim back 10c?

i wonder G will ban us from buying can and bottle drinks from Jb.

 

[zetraw]

You need to rinse it before keeping inside your bag, walk to some place with the machine and then return. If you have no time, you likely will need a rubbish bbag to keep multiple cans and 1 fine day walk to a place to return.

Of course can dont rinse and put inside bag lah.

 

[zetraw]

I have 3 cans now, need to put into a bag and bring along when I go out, never know if I come across a machine and can return.

Else the bag will be part of my outfit.

 

[LWZ]

now I always see if there's returnable cans and bottles lying around when I go out to eat or buy groceries

have already found quite a few

Go to website
Look for page where there's a map of locations NOT page with the list of locations
Cos latter I find will miss out some spots

It will show you machine nearest you
So walk there and return
Most hawker centres and some supermarkets have machines

You need to input your location and the map will show you all the machines near the location
It also shows if machine offline or full

HOWEVER you CANNOT move the map too far

Say you are at Ion Orchard and you move to say City Hall
The map will show City hall have NO machines
Thats untrue
You input city hall and you'll see all the machines

Did they charge you
Regardless if you see the ten cents logo just take can and return

i have seen old auntie camp at food court to take the cans when other customers return tray
gor one time the auntie went up to these teens wanted to asked for the can but the teens have not finished so reject (i felt the auntie should wait for people return and not go around asking

Bring home?
Like I mentioned look at their web page
Very likely a machine is near you
If there's a supermarket there should be one

That's a bit much
I won't be surprised the hawkers or coffee stall owners have own system for the cans

 

[huhster]

waste of time
i brought some cans and mineral bottles to try
all rejected... fed up throw away into the dustbin

 

[mgx-alander]

Thats interesting
Never seen that

 

[Joseph12]

Some new product with the 10 cent logo need a few days to register / sync with the machine. Like the OATSIDE bottles. It took around one week before I can scan it.

Ha
Need a patch for software to work is it
Bloody embarrassing there's no apology
