Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 July 2024
116. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications for an update on making the deposit return scheme available at civic amenity sites in Cork county; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29791/24]
View answerThe 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.
