I think this is a great idea .
As children we used to make a bit of money by talking back the Tizer and Othe FPLP bottle for 3d

Re: bottle return

Yes a good idea I used to do that as a kid. But we were naughty. As we could get into the back yard of the off-licence, pinch a few bottles, and take them to a different off-licence.

Hah, yes some of the kids I knew used to do that as well, Emjay.
Hand on heart I never did though.


And Yes Muddy, it is a good idea.
I suppose it's much the same as taking your shopping trolley back so as to reclaim your £1.
Most £1 trolleys get taken back instead of just dumped.

Re: bottle return

Yep. Great idea. Could be extended to other stuff as well.

So did we, took bottles back for the refund. Used to pick up any laying around too.

Re: bottle return

They introduced it here, put the price of beer and soft drinks up 20c so you could get 10c back by recycling the bottles. Bastards!



Didn't put the refund on wine bottles so your Chardonnay sipping galahs didn't have a price increase. Double Bastards!

Why does he deliver the empties? Or are you saying he delivers empty milk bottles? 🤪🤪

I'm fairly sure this is quite wide-spread in Scandinavia too.
