20p return

I will tell ya why glass bottles should be returned to the retailer.

So we dont fill our recycling box up with the bottles. The shops can do it instead.
 
In South Australia all drink cans and bottles can be returned to recycling depots and they get 5c back for every can and bottle........doesn't matter what they are made of.....they are recycled and 5c is what you get.
That may not seem very much but it does encourage kids to pick up the cans and it soon mounts up.
But this system is only in South Australia.......don't ask why......I don't know.
 
I think it's a good idea.

Don't know if you know or not but HBC runs a pledging scheme with recycling. If you pledge your recycled stuff to a school it goes towards points that the school can spend (presumably on computer stuff or books). I don't quite know how it works, but I assume they weigh the stuff in the blue boxes and white bags to add up how much a school has earned. It encourages people to recycle.
 
if we got 5p a can i would be picking them up off the street lol

hey ime not proud :D
 
does anyone know the figure H.B.C are making on the recycling of all the waste we wash and put into correct bins for them???Wouldnt it be nice to know and then they go and put the council tax up!!
 
ime pretty sure HBC can justify the raise in council tax each year and i fully support them in this matter

sorry guys this is my first time experimenting with drugs :confused:

pmsl best laugh ive had this weekend,bet neil thinks the same.
 
WELL IVE BEEN WORKING IN WILMSLOW (CHESIRE) AND THE 20P RETURN ON A BOTTLE IS WELL AND TRULY ALIVE AND KICKING...A CHIPPY THERE SELLS THE BOTTLES (1 LITRE I THINK) FOR 75P AND YOU GET YOUR 20P BACK ....SERIOUSLY IS A GOOD IDEA AS CANS AND PLASTIC BOTTLES RANGE FROM 50P TO A POUND AND THEY DONT CONTAIN NO WHERE NEAR A LITRE :cool:
 
I know about the pledge system........the kids from the local schools came round promoting it.
We have been recycling forever........glass bottles and cans we have always washed and we used to take them to Asda.......Paper, we used to save that and give it to the local school.......they used to get money for it.......alas no more. Not economical because of the council scheme.

:confused: But how do they know how much has been donated from each house? I have watched tha bin men recycle my blue bag and box, it just gets tipped into the wagon.

If I had joined the scheme, there is no way of telling
