now that there's the added incentive of a couple of euros in it for them, its the circular economy
But where in the rule book does it say that you can't, you're already "bucking the trend" by paying a deposit on your cans and bottles and not claiming it back but not only that, you're paying some organisation to come and collect it from your house and recycle them for youNobody would stoop to such a level in the leafy suburban cul-de-sac in which I reside

It's 15 to 25 cents. There's a flat charge for the bin collection (we actually have 2 green bins as there's 6 of us in the house). It's probably €10 a year net gain when I allow for fuel costs. If I bring them to one of those machines and allow for my time it would cost me hundreds of Euro a year. This way I don't waste my time and the bottle or can gets recycled anyway.But where in the rule book does it say that you can't, you're already "bucking the trend" by paying a deposit on your cans and bottles and not claiming it back but not only that, you're paying some organisation to come and collect it from your house and recycle them for you
That's not just first world thinking, that's Darwinism thinking at it's finest
Possible as the area is over run with elderly people. You can actually smell the biscuits and loneliness sometimes on a still afternoon.If they weren't on the roadside - say, a little off the ground, would that help?
I wouldn't make the delivery of these cans/bottles a priority. I wait till I do the weekly shop snd then put them in the machine thingyIt's probably €10 a year net gain when I allow for fuel costs. If I bring them to one of those machines and allow for my time it
Most of my plastic bottles are 2L. Cant see why these are included in the scheme as you very rarely see 2L bottles strewn about as rubbish on our streets.I wouldn't make the delivery of these cans/bottles a priority. I wait till I do the weekly shop snd then put them in the machine thingy
....its an absolute farce of a scheme if I'm honest, but as a disciple of watch the pennies thinking since early childhood, the anxiety levels would be an annoyance if I put them in the bin.
Evidence that the deposit return scheme may be working so?Most of my plastic bottles are 2L. Cant see why these are included in the scheme as you very rarely see 2L bottles strewn about as rubbish on our streets.
I don't recall seeing 2l bottles being strewn around before the scheme came in though.Evidence that the deposit return scheme may be working so?
I've seen many an empty 2L bottle of Lindon Village Cider along the Canal up from Phibsborough in my time.I don't recall seeing 2l bottles being strewn around before the scheme came in though.
Not sure what that's supposed to mean?Paper doesn't refuse ink...

That actually touched me in a sad way. Quite poetic and depressing.Possible as the area is over run with elderly people. You can actually smell the biscuits and loneliness sometimes on a still afternoon.

Worthy of Alan Bennett.That actually touched me in a sad way. Quite poetic and depressing.
Thanks, I was thinking that I needed a bit of variety to my daily walk...I've seen many an empty 2L bottle of Lindon Village Cider along the Canal up from Phibsborough in my time.
