Lost deposit


I wondered how long it would be before I found an Irish can from their deposit return scheme*. Thanks to the person who threw their cherryade can out of their window on the A10 at Stretham the administrators will now keep the deposit. I hope they invest the 15 cents wisely for the benefit of the planet.

*Most likely. Now there are a lot in circulation that have never been to Ireland. This example is for international markets and has Irish and Dutch deposit return scheme logos. (Just recycling logos for the French and obstreperous British.)

How many deposit and recycling logos do you need for an international can? More than ten.
