"Just love when you arrive to lidl and they're both out of order, so you have to waddle back to the car to drop off your recycling before continuing with your shopping. Keeps your steps up." Another possible unnecessary journey/ waste of peoples time too and a carbon output caused by this scheme. Making a car journey to a machine to find it out of order. | |||

"I have 2 Green bins in my house as we create so much recyclable rubbish Since the scheme came in I keep a plastic bag in the car and bring it full of bottles and cans to the petrol station every day getting my coffee using the receipt from the machine Its no hardship at all,part of the routine This morning for the first time ever I didn't need to put any green bin out for collection " The one plastic bag of cans and bottles in the car surely didn’t save you from putting out 2 big Green wheelie bins of recycling. You must have cut down on all other recycling waste in the time since your last bin collection if you didn’t need to put your usual two Green bins out | |||

"15c a unit does not incentivise me I’ll keep just putting in recycle bin where I can 6 returns is less than €1…. Not worth the hassle" I actually came in here to ask something similar. How many people, who wouldn’t normally recycled, are suddenly incentivise to do so based on this charge? My guess would be that the vast majority of people who recycle in the machines are the people who would have recycled regardless | |||

"I saw a guy collecting bottles after the last Munster match, he had 2 mammoth bags full of them, there was another person with a huge wheelbarrow doing it. Good incentive for people to pick up trash. " At my work they have a coffee shop too! All the cans and bottles are left behind, but the charge is on them. There Is now 3 IBC cages full of them, it has to be a thousand euro worth, all back to the owners. Nice extra money spinner | |||
