The government expects more people to return containers as more products have the special label.

People can return drink containers and get 10 cents back. The containers must have the special label and be made of plastic or metal.

Some drink containers do not have the label yet. This is because companies are still selling their old stock.

A minister answered questions about the recycling program in parliament.

A member of parliament asked about the money collected from recycling and how it is used.

She also asked what happens to the money when people do not return their containers.

A company called BCRS Ltd is in charge of collecting and recycling the containers.

The company gets money from the producers of the drinks and from selling the recycled materials.

If people do not return their containers, the company can use the money to pay for its work.

This is how other countries with similar programs do it.

The company must report its finances to the government every year.

The price of drinks is decided by the companies that make them.

If companies raise their prices, they might lose customers to other companies.

The government has put recycling machines in many places, including near homes.

All the machines are now working, and more will be added soon.

The government wants to make it easy for people to return their containers.

Most people have had no problems using the machines.

If there are problems, the company that runs the program fixes them quickly.
