PAp : what's wrong with collecting more money ?

Then stop buying these drinks. Nobody force you to do it.

U will still buy and they will earn more... end of story...

This is what happens when the PAP regime is a diehard supporter of the globalist anti-carbon 'sustainability' cult.

The PAP regime has cronies in the 'recycling' industry.

Germany already has a similar concept, but knowing the nature and habits of the PAP regime, you will be getting way below market rate for the bottles you return.

I see an uncle going around my area here to collect empty cans. So he collect 200 cans per day means 20bucks for him?

Problem is, PAP won't pay a single cent for all the mountains of existing cans now just because they have no special bar code for the 10 cents surcharge, which will only be printed on cans once the scheme officially begins later this year. That's dogmatic bureaucracy for you. It's not about saving the environment, it's about stupid bureaucracy.

I would love to see the day when uncles & aunties fight over collecting the 10 cents deposit cans from coffee shops & food courts
