The Deposit Return Scheme allows for non-retail operators, such as local authorities, to provide take-back facilities, complementing the collection infrastructure provided by retailers. Five local authorities have approached me about installing reverse vending machines at civic amenity sites as part of the next phase of roll-out. I would welcome Cork County Council also getting involved.
