    By using the Return&Earn stations in NSW you also can get the $0.10 refund on each bottle once you've finished them. In theory bringing this down to $4.50 😊

        Why I don't put the bottles in my recycling bin any more. Caught someone red-handed but the kicker was that she didn't pick up the mess that she created while rifling through my bin and I had to call her out on it …

        Not really acceptable (likely illegal also to go into another persons bin). The problem is, if I saw someone going through my bin, how do I know they aren't seeking info, letters, mail etc for identity theft. Apparently some mail was stolen from my former neighbor, and had thousands stolen from her through the subsequent identity theft. I would not be accepting of someone going through my bins, I do put my mail in recycling after reading it, including mail from banking.

          argh. there's always one. username checks out as well. diddily.

          i'd think that the giant bags with bottle like objects protruding from the bags accompanying said bin scab might give you a hint that they are not after your meaningless letterheads with your name and address.

          if you're dumb enough to not shred your financial documents or anything with more than your name and address on it, you probably deserve what you get.

          diddily.

          • Flanders on 14/10/2018 - 21:29

            @[Deactivated]: Nobody deserves to be stolen from, that is the mentality of a theif. Hope you get arrested when caught tampering with other people's property. You actually do "deserve it" .

              @Flanders: hah the ignorance is strong with this one! FYI once you place your bin out on the kerb for collection, it is no longer your property. it belongs to the council. this is why councils frown upon bottle collectors.

              technically, you're stealing from the council, but because the councils steal from us, i think it's ok. but i don't give them a damn cent anyway because it's factored into the price you pay for the bottles, cans etc.

              the universe has a way of balancing these things out.

              now back to church for you. isn't there a bible quote or something i can use to stop people from blatantly calling people thieves after they've made a joke (that you didn't get). thou shall not judge lest ye be judged …or something.

                By your logic, if someones car parked on the street (street is council's property) , then it is OK to rifle through it. Well, it is not.
                Btw, the person I know who was stolen from is an elderly pesnioner in her late 60's she does not "deserve it" because she didn't shred her mail DH.

                  @Flanders: if you don't have the mentality of a thief then how are you supposed to protect yourself? i always think about what people can steal from me, so i can take appropriate measures. this is just common sense.

                  actually that's not my logic because you are now providing an example that is skewed from the original subject matter. a persons car is however their property. council bins are not. that said, if you leave your doors to your car unlocked then don't be surprised that someone will test them and steal from you. the world is full of thieves, and i am too now apparently!

                  unfortunately the elderly are often victims of scams and theft, mainly because they do not update their knowledge and street smarts and think of the possibilities. the police often issue warnings as do late night TV programs. if you isolate yourself from the world that much then you may as well transfer all your funds into that nigerian prince's bank account.

                  just love it how a joke can turn into wild accusations of thievery.

                      @Flanders: looks like you can't differentiate between the initial joke and follow up comments of me not caring about your alleged elderly neighbour who allegedly was a victim of identity theft because her mail was allegedly stolen.

                      your comments don't even seem to apply here, because you state that her alleged identity theft came from mail theft, not recycling bin theft. there is a great difference. i find it hard to believe identity theft would even be possible with the limited information provided in bank statements. looks like we're not getting the whole story here…

                      while we're on moral outrage. i also believe animals deserve to die because they taste good. mmmm bacon.

      It’s a trend in most Western countries, not just Australia, which started in the late nineties. People nowadays think it’s bad for you to go without a sip of water for 15 minutes, creating this need to always carry on a bottle of water wherever you go (and some people are too lazy to buy a reusable water bottle and fill it up with tap water).

      • callum9999 on 14/10/2018 - 10:34

        No, its not…

        Many Western countries are recognizing the huge environmental impact of buying bottled water.

        While Australia/Australians tend not to care about the environment, don't pretend everyone else is the same!

        • bozbargain on 14/10/2018 - 11:21

          I have lived in quite a few Western countries and it is a general trend in my experience. You are over generalising when you’re saying we’re not caring and other Western countries are. I don’t ‘pretend’ anything, I’m just calling out that it is worrying that so many people from developed countries feel the need to buy bottled water. Saying that Australians tend not to care about the environment is plain silly. Sure, we should all do much better but I’m quite impressed how people here (Sydney) tend to clean up their mess after a BBQ in the park. Compare that to eg Berlin, Amsterdam or Barcelona.

            @bozbargain: There's MUCH more to caring about the environment than picking up litter.

            Australia is one of the most polluting countries on the planet and is showing no signs of wanting that to change. We're even discussing opening more coal power plants…

          While many Australians really do care about the environment, unfortunately many others don't. And this seems to be reflected in the politicians we elect. Politicians who are dismissive of "some sort of report".

          Interesting fact: Dutch people sued their government to force it to do more about Climate Change and won the case. The Dutch government is now legally forced to bring down emissions by 25% (of 1990 levels). I believe the latest ruling might even force the government to bring emissions down by 49%.

              Can anyone comfirm please, is this cheaper than any of the regular half price deals etc for 500ml bottles of water, which regularly come up at cole/woolworths ??

              I mean for any brand, brand name doesn't matter to me . I will buy 10 or more I guess, if its cheapest they ever are for 500ml bottled water.

        Thats a bit misleading I think. I'm not a chemistry major so I don't know the exact term, but pH is not the only measurement thats valid. There's also something to do with the reaction capacity of the fluid. Because water is so 'empty' of minerals, you can raise or lower the ph quite easily. So while they may be the same pH, that glass of water might be neutralized with just a drop of an alkaline substance, whereas the the orange juice would need closer to an equal amount of the same stuff to balance it out.
