The deposit return scheme is aimed at improving recycling rates by separately collecting plastic bottles and cans. This guarantees a higher quality of recyclable material by avoiding cross-contamination issues, as opposed to existing recycling processes.

Glass is not included in the deposit return scheme because Ireland already has a high recycling rate of over 80% for glass and is meeting recycling targets for this material, so there is no requirement for it to be included in the scheme.

Placing recycling bins near reverse vending machines could address concerns about litter from discarded bottles when deposit returns are unavailable. While separate collection in shops improves recycling, nearby disposal alternatives could further minimize litter.

Deposits exist on cans and bottles to discourage littering. By charging a deposit fee, consumers are incentivized to return their containers for recycling in order to get their money back, rather than littering the containers.

The Deposit Return Scheme is not a scam. By refunding deposits for returned containers, it encourages higher recycling rates which supports Ireland's environmental goals. Re-turn's success depends on increasing recycling and reducing waste, not on unreturned deposits.

The DRS aims to boost recycling rates, and I understand the frustration of facing additional costs for returning bottles from a rural area. Online purchases should include return location info in the FAQs. Contact the retailer for potential alternative return options.
