    Endlich habe ich alle meine leeren Dosen eingesammelt, um sie an der Re-Turn-Maschine zu verwenden.


    Große Verschwendung einer Reise. Ich werde sie einfach wieder in den Papierkorb werfen und meine Dosen in großen Mengen oben im Norden kaufen.

      They’re fucking shite, I won’t be surprised to see one of the parties jump on this and promise big change because nobody seems happy with it

      Have forgotten to bring my stash of cans 4 weeks running. Cannot wait to make it 5 from 5.

      Imagine how much more money companies are making off all the folk that can’t be arsed returning the bottles

      Did everyone see the news earlier and everyone whinging about the smoking ban being brought in 20 years ago?

      The people that are using these machines are the kind of folk that were diligently already recycling

      I’ve just decided to eat the deposits and put my cans in the blue bin.

      I recycle at home – I will purchase no product that supports this return scam I didn’t need it before I don’t need it now.

      Like the euro introduction back in the day the return scam is a price increase through the back door.

      As someone who works in retail, I hope people are aware of where those recyclable bottles and cans that are thrown into the reject bin go. Hint: it’s not the blue bins

      Would you not try another machine? Like, you gave it one attempt and that’s it?

    21. motherofjazus on

      I have had 2 successful trips of ten. On some of the rare occasions when the machines appeared to be working, they didn’t accept cans/bottles. Had an error message /code. Conversations with other people at these times suggested they had had a poor experience overall.

      As an outsider looking in, it’s a shit show the fact you can’t even put in crushed cans says it all in my outsiders opinion

      I’m just throwing everything in the black bin now, and I’ve always recycled previously. I take public transport to work, do occasional small shops on the way home. 

      My options are bring my trash to work; leave early and return the bottles on the way in; or make a separate trip back out after I get home.

      All of which cost me, in both time and money. So instead I’ll just eat the extra tax, and recoup some of it from the time I used to spend separating recyclables from the other trash.

      Yeah the machines are grand when they’re working. This wouldn’t be any issue if I wasn’t already being ripped off on my bins and to buy drinks. But sure it’s Ireland.

      The good news is that the shop is still obligated to take your empty cans even if the machine is not working. Yes, they can take them manually.

      The bad news is that they will not.

      Went to return mine in lidl, wasn’t operational, grand im in Cork city centre so there’s probably 10 other ones within a small walk so I go to dealz, out of order, I then go to Paul street tesco, out of order all 4 of them, I then go to centra where I can finally get rid of my bottles.

      3/4 shops were out of order! To be fair apart from that day I haven’t had issues with them and I’ve gone on 3 runs total since February

      Is it just scumbags messing round with them or what like?

    27. Playful_Pause_7678 on

      Looks like you’ll have to burn the same amount of fuel again the next time you try to be environmentally friendly!

    28. Aware_Ad9809 on

      I’m sick of more bloody bags of plastic around the house. Kids have been down twice with bags of bottles. And come back with them again because the stupid machine was full.

    29. Balor51 on

      It’s an absolute tone-deaf joke to introduce this in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

    30. DT5105 on

      some bottles can not be recycled.Simply photocopy the barcode from a similar sized bottle that can be recycled and make a page of barcodes.

      Cut and paste all you like and help save the environment /s
