@rtenews 2/2 - calculated the Carbon foot print ?
On running these machines ! Now it’s a health hazard . Return to recycling through the proper bin collections .
@rtenews SCRAP this scheme all together !
It is a disaster, people searching public bins for empties which is very sad , practically insisting we donate with the return funds , the returns shipped abroad to recycle , the cost of the machines , the cost to run them ? Has anyone 1/2
UPDATE: The Motorway has now been closed with diversions at Junction 11 Dromoland. Reports of Heavy traffic in the area. https://t.co/4E87VJI9Ay via @ClareFM
@ClareFM How many CRASHES now ? It must be up at over 35 in the last couple of months …. WHAT IS GOING ON ?? We need a @GardaTraffic on this road at these times …. Its always early in the morning this happens, same stretch of road🤷♀️ @aaroadwatch@ClareCoCo
@kenoflynnTD Team up with @albertdolan_ this country needs ye to keep asking questions, this is unacceptable and should be called out , a disgrace sending information out in that manner ….. the spending / accountability needs to be transparent for all depts , NGO’s etc . .
@NewstalkFM Every house should have a rain water butt for times like this !!! Government should insist on each house collecting rain water !!#collecttherainwater
@_mullally_el_ We’ll need Michael O Leary or Elon Musk to come and look into our spending !!! Madness €9m ….. could be spent on youth activities to keep kids occupied after school !
Did the bin companies not recycle prior to this ??? If not why not ? Add the cost of clearing up the litter & rubbish from people searching for bottles & cans !
Many happy returns!🎉
Today marks the first birthday of the Deposit Return Scheme, one of the most positive and transformative initiatives.
980 million containers returned and almost 50% reduction in bottles/cans being littered.
Thanks to everyone who supported the scheme.
Almost 980 million bottles and cans have been returned for recycling since the Deposit Return Scheme came into affect a year ago today
