I foresee a campaign to get Barrs to change their minds.

Meh my two go to the shop with them all the time, you normally find they do that first before raiding the penny jar

If they stop the 30p return then folk will have no reason to dispose of them properly and they'll end up lying everywhere like we used to see with carrier bags

Turns out they are doing away with it due to new technologies so means that they'll not be using glass bottles which isn't so bad? Looking forward to finding out what they plan on doing next ie new bottles

It ends in December. Cost of recycling doesn't make it cost effective any longer.

Barrs wanted rid of them when they still had Five regional depots. Plastic bottles don't burst when shoogled around on the Bru trucks. Nothing like a cold glass bottle taste. No more bottles = no more crates too.

Wonder if Garvies will follow suit.

There's already so much plastic litter around - there should be a deposit on the plastic bottles as well.
