Re-turn scheme sees busiest day so far with 2.3m returns
The new Deposit Return Scheme had its best day yet over the weekend, the Oireachtas Committee on Environment and Climate Action has heard.www.rte.ie
“The figures demonstrate that the recycling scheme has been embraced by the public, the minister added.”
“Fianna Fáil TD Christopher O'Sullivan welcomed the scheme, noting that, when it was introduced, "people had been lining up to knock it".
But he revealed that when he went to use his local machine, it was out of order.
He was "over-joyed" when it worked on his second visit, saving him €2 on his shopping that day.”
Can someone please explain to him he didn’t save anything?
Many words spring to mind about having to lug bags of empty cans and bottles to these machines with ahem mixed results.
'Over-joyed' is not one of them.
