Topic: Deposit return scheme
41. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 29th Jan 2025. 17:45 From what I`ve read the UK scheme doesn`t include glass. Does that mean there will be no facilities for recycling glass? If so, isn`t that a bad thing? Reply

If so, isn`t that a bad thing? There are already facilities to recycle glass. They`re located in big supermarket car parks or near community centres usually. Glass would presumably need recycled, which isn`t as environmentally friendly as the old approach taken by Barr to wash and reuse. Reply

Author: wee eck Date: Wed 29th Jan 2025. 18:59 We have receptacles in our street to recycle glass, plastic/cardboard/paper, as well as bins for landfill so why the need to have a DRS for plastic but not glass? Will plastic no longer be collected after the DRS comes in? I find the whole situation quite confusing. Post Edited (Wed 29 Jan 19:45) Reply

I don`t think it applies to plastic food dishes, clothes hangers etc. Reply

Strange that the folks taking them wouldn’t take glass then :/ This’ll be at the tills where they only take the plastics but the shop would have had a separate place for the glass bottles. Often a dispenser machine or in other cases a member of staff would take them, count them and give you a receipt for the till. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte Reply
