The Return Me Bottle Scheme is a new initiative in Ireland aimed at encouraging people to return their used plastic bottles and cans for recycling. By returning these items, we can reduce waste and protect our environment.

Why is Recycling Important?

Recycling helps to reduce waste, save energy, and protect our natural resources. Did you know that recycling just one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a light bulb for three hours?

Step 1: Collect Your Bottles and Cans

Make sure to collect all your empty plastic bottles and cans that have the Return Me logo on them. These are the items that can be returned through the scheme.

Step 2: Find a Return Point

Plastic bottles can take up to 450 years to decompose in a landfill. By recycling, you are helping to reduce this environmental impact significantly.
