BBC NEWS | Scotland | Bottle recyclers ‘could be paid’

yep, old!! i can remember more doing it in italy and spain when we were on hols. my parents let us keep the money…
That has been in place here for 40+ years, except for a few years in the middle. On Prince Edward Island bottled drinks can only be sold in glass bottles, so their return program has been in place since the 60’s.
Don’t worry Jax, I can remember doing that as well 🙂
THey had these machines which took the bottles and gave you the money in supermarkets in Denmark
I can remember my friends doing it with aluminium cans!
Ooh pop vans! Remember those?
