This may come as a surprise but they don’t just take Peter’s full bag of recycling straight to the second hand shop. Why is Peter putting WEEE products/items with batteries into his recycling?
Ye probably know already, but just in case. Batteries are generally between 100 and 1000 times more expensive than main electricity, depending of course on an absolute bucket full of conditions. Environmental factors aside of course.
So buy it with a plug, not a battery*.
*My own wife is the worst in the world. Another bucket load of battery powered shite bought again this Christmas.

Must be a pain the hole for her to use a wand with a cord. She has her reasons to have a battery powered rabbit

I don’t understand why the bottles have to be undamaged?
Surely the first thing the machine does is crush them?
I assume its so people arent crushing them and making the barcode unreadable?
Just think these things through logically.
Who doesn’t squeeze a can when it’s empty?
So it should have read ‘legible barcode’?
Assume?
Reminds me of an engineering meeting I was once at. I spluttered out, “I think so, yea,” in my best Limerick accent. To which I got the reply.
“We’re engineers here. We don’t assume, think, maybe or probably anything. It either is or it isn’t.”

No better man.
I remember I was walking in Germany in 2014.
I handed in two empty plastic bottles over the counter and got a free new full bottle of water in return.
You can bate an egg but you can’t beat the Germans…

The person who wants their deposit back.
If they don’t they can squeeze away.

It’ll be a nice drive out to the Childers Road every time the wife has a bacardi and coke.
Or should I take a buzz…

Folks being charged a deposit for items they can’t claim back.
Another clusterfuck master class.

Has anybody ever been convicted of burning smokey fuel here in Ireland?
Google gives me nothing.
I know a local lad who just got a solid fuel stove in and intends to burn blocks. He says he has a supplier for the blocks here in Caherdavin.
Blocks as in timber?
Sure that’s not banned anywhere?

There’s no way of enforcing the burning of smokey fuel as the ban only refers to its sale.
@TreatyStones is correct, seasoned timber has no restrictions
