October 28, 2026<\/a>\n <\/p>\n\n Peter H Bates said: \u201cShops in Sweden have been recycling metal drinks cans for at least 30 years.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cDon\u2019t squash the cans otherwise the machines will not recognise them.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Karen Symmonds said: \u201cYes, and it\u2019s took up most of the disabled parking so making it harder for disabled people to park.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Suzie Stiles replied: \u201cThey added in extra disabled spaces elsewhere in the carpark.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Matthew Thompson said: \u201cWould hardly call it big progress. It\u2019s been in progress since the summer. Slow progress maybe.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Louisa Trevaskiss said: \u201cWow, why haven’t they implemented this before now? About time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Susan Hart said: \u201cSounds good.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Peter H Bates said: \u201cCan recall 75 years ago. 3d deposit on a Tizer bottle.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Malcolm Kemp said: \u201cNow this sounds like a great idea.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Suzie Stiles said: \u201cBut you are paying extra up front for the items that can be recycled so as such you aren\u2019t being paid to recycle you are just getting your deposit back!\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Terry Lloyd replied: \u201cI’ll try to avoid buying anything with extra money on because of recycling.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Freddie Jones said: \u201cWe are decades behind a lot of Europe with this very simple thing with recycling. An embarrassment.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n One commenter said: \u201cAs a child I remember the old tramps with long dishevelled beards pushing along shopping trolleys full of empty tin cans, bottle tops and glass bottles to go to the shop and get paid for the returns.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Patrick Cole said: \u201cTakes me back to the days of the Corona van think it was 2d a bottle . Ah those were the days.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n One commenter said: \u201cThey should be dealing with parents using their car park waiting for their kids to finish school and not even shopping there and causing obstruction to shoppers who do park and shop.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cAlot of them still turning right ready for an accident to happen.\n<\/p>\n
\n Another commenter replied: \u201cYou’ll be referring to the one by the fire station. That place is a joke between 3 and 4. Full of parents with very little ability to manoeuvre a vehicle.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n A third added: \u201cOne police officer on one afternoon catching parents doing that will probably soon put an end to it as the story spreads amongst parents.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The supermarket expects it to be a permanent addition, and the new structure will let shoppers recycle plastic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":819648,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-819647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=819647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/819648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=819647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=819647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=819647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
