Good News For The Environment and Recycling
As was reported by Oonagh from The AO Show this morning, the country's first reverse vending machine is opening today in County Monaghan.
How does the machine work?
It allows people to bring plastic bottles and gives out vouchers worth 10 cent. The machine in Carrickmacross is programmed to recognize barcodes so there won't be an issue with non-recyclables getting mixed in. The vouchers are redeemable in the supermarket - Supervalu.
