Recycle / Re-Turn

Private waste companies were happy to coin it and take all the re-cycling cash themselves of course.

Of course it is not a "tax" but a charge that gets returned to you 100% the next time that you are back at the shops.

The best bit is that it as a scheme is running really well and annoying the perma-angry cranks.
They need little excuse to increase charges either, they been at it for years. Handy out for them to blame this scheme, this time.

Irish Rail has erected warning signs telling people not to rummage in station bins for bottles and cans worth money under the Deposit Return Scheme for fear they will get pricked by syringes.

Dublin City Council (DCC), meanwhile, is looking at redesigning its street bins to discourage people from pulling out the contents to look for discarded drinks containers.

The moves come as bins in public places become a draw for people looking for bottles and cans that are worth 15c or 25c each when brought back to shops or returned through reverse vending machines.

Signs have begun appearing on railway platforms in Dublin to warn people not to put their hands in the bins for health and safety reasons. In addition to syringes, the signs warn that the bins may contain broken glass, dirty nappies and rotting food.

Station staff are also intervening where they see people going through bins to warn them they need to stop.

To think they have to erect warning signs to state the bloody obvious, stupidity and the legal business are the root cause of course.
