Some 23 of 2,300 machines replaced as numbers of returned containers are set to reach 100 million later this month

Re-Turn says 'reliability has significantly improved' for its vending machines for recycling cans and plastic bottles. Photograph: Alan Betson/The Irish Timeshas said it was aware of some “technical issues” that have impacted early reliability of some of its ‘reverse-vending’ machines.

The machine issues the customer a credit receipt that is accepted by the store which pays out cash, or takes the receipts in against shopping bills.What is your experience of the deposit return scheme? Following complaints of poor performance of some machines, Re-turn said 2,300 machines were currently operational with some 23 replaced.

The company said the recycling scheme represented “a significant infrastructure roll-out” and “in such a large-scale initiative, initial challenges are inevitable but now represent a small minority of the overall experience”.
