It might be about time, but it ain't happenin' until 2023
We used to have it back in the 70's.
Dunno why they stopped.

Yeah, stawka bit disappointed that they want so long to implement it.
Hopefully it's like South Australia and actually creates jobs rather than like NSW with the stupid reverse vending machines
NSW also has normal collection points but can's and bottles have to be un crushed so they are easy to count
when put into the counting racks.
Most arrive there with the stuff in bags and can wait an hour or more to get done when it's easier to put them
back into the boxes and they jusy count them and shove them into a big plastic bag so done in minutes.
There was bit of a problem when they first opened it as recycle bins were being tipped over and the cans and
bottles taken so they could cash them in
It seems to have eased of now but it was bit strange that the bins that were tipped over were in NSW and the
Vic bins just across the bridge were left alone so it was concluded that who ever was doing it oviously wasn't
to bright and warnings that went out seemed to be effective).

We have the ' stations ' here - took only the first trip to understand - don't crush.
The strip thing needs to be read.

some will need to get wider homes to fit all the bins across the front

But we didn't have recycling bins then. I don't see why I should pay a surcharge when I recycle the bottles anyway, and it would need a full carload to cover the cost of taking them to a deposit centre.

Yeah, no recycle centre way back when.
Just took 'em to the good old Milk Bar on the Corner.
Then they got the money back from the company.
edit: if you can't crush them, it's gunna be a tad awkward to move them without a car.
