Bradford Shoppers Set to Be Paid for Returning Bottles
Shoppers will get 20p back for returning empty bottles and cans, with cash, voucher or card options at supermarkets and other collection points.
- The Deposit Return Scheme launches October 1, 2027, across England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland to reduce litter and increase recycling rates for single-use drinks bottles and cans.
- Supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, and Sainsbury will host dedicated collection points where shoppers return empty containers with 'no receipt needed' to receive their deposit refund.
- While Wales develops a separate system, the 20p deposit applies to the Welsh scheme; customers receive refunds via cash, voucher, or card for returned containers.
- Travis Way, managing director at RVM experts EcoVend, part of Reconomy, told The Express the rate is a 'helpful step forward,' noting 'continued engagement and education with retailers will be key.'
- Germany and Sweden have already introduced similar European deposit schemes, providing a model as the Deposit Management Organisation develops the framework for the UK rollout.
