Ireland will soon be introducing a Deposit Return Scheme. The Deposit Return Scheme will be a much-needed carrot to the litter-picking stick for Drogheda Tidy Towns volunteers and TidyTowns all over the country, who are currently doing such excellent work to keep our towns, villages and cities clean!
How It All Works:
In February 2024, when you buy a drink in a plastic bottle, aluminium or steel can that features the Re-turn logo, you pay a small deposit in addition to the price of the drink. When you return your empty, undamaged container to any retail outlet, you get your deposit back in full.
Check out this fantastic introduction video and a video on how the deposit fees work:
