Deposit Return Scheme

On 25 April 2024, the UK Government announced that from October 2027, a returnable deposit is to be placed on plastic and metal drink containers.

• When you buy a drink, you will pay a deposit.
• You will get the deposit back when you return the empty drinks bottle or can to a participating retailer or Reverse Vending Point.

 More information will be available in 2027.

Please continue to recycle bottles and cans in your blue bin until the scheme starts in 2027.
