Trying to build up the courage to use mine for the first time. Will probably wait until the left over cans from Paddy's weekend are drank but that could be a while.

I had a few weeks build up there of cans and plastic bottles. Around 40 plastic bottles and 20 cans. Had only just started and some woman started to queue behind me and then some man behind her (it wasn't a duel machine where two people can go at once).
Some of them were not scanning first time (or at all) so it took me about 5 minutes altogether to get through it. Could hear the two of them talking "this chap will be here awhile". It's a mixture of frustration, embarrassing and panicking all rolled into one trying to take care of the business with the machine.
It returned me around 7 euro in the end. Am thinking it's not really worth all the hassle at this point. Edited by t_rAndy - 20 Mar 2024 at 12:24pm |

Successfully used the scheme at the weekend. Few thoughts
If it was set up in the same way the glass bottles are this would be a more successful model. Accessible in multiple locations and ease of access rather than trapsing through the shops like a hobo. I understand there are challenges on this i.e. the receipt received would need to be universally used, the bins would fill quickly (but make them big enough to take massive volumes) or set them up in bring centres that are dotted around Dublin. The cans thing. First time returning cans. I get they are cycling through old to new packaging so that will sort itself out eventually but i drink a fair amount of cans at the weekend (don't like drinking from a bottle myself - something about straight from the can especially if 330ml), storing these will be a disaster in the summer with flies everywhere and trying to ensure they don't get dented or crushed etc. especially as the can intake shoots up with the longer nights. Awaits Balf.airy reply.

Interesting article https://www.france24.com/en/environment/20240318-activists-say-eu-s-proposed-deposit-refund-schemes-are-false-solution-to-plastic-pollution Basically doesnt adress the issue of our overuse of plastics Long been suspicious of these "recycling" schemes

What the hell has the thread got to do with it. You made it personal in another thread which was bizarre. Also I didnβt have a pop at how you voted as I donβt know how you did. Your posts on the referendum thread were just sh*t stirring. You were not explaining or outlining your view on any of the issues. The point I was making is that you decided to jump into that debate and say why do I care as it has no impact and yet itβs ok for lads to give out about trivial inconveniences but how dare I answer questions and outline my point in something as fundamental as family. Just like Gerk was rightly passionate about care, I had a view in relation the family referendum and remember I was asked by a Mod McG to explain it and give my views which I did.

Your levels of delusion are one of the most entertaining things on here these days. Fistly, I never once mentioned what I voted for on Friday so you are making huge assumptions based on nothing. Also, you were one of the first in line to condemn people for not taking the covid vaccine, were you not ? If it makes you feel good to paint a picture in your own head of you being some principled champion of minority opinion, go ahead. |
