Feedback on Automated Reverse Vending Machines of Beverage Container Return Scheme
Mr Ang Wei Neng asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) from the commencement of the Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) to date, what is the total number of feedback received on the automated reverse vending machines (RVMs); (b) of this feedback, how many are hygiene-related; (c) how frequently are RVMs cleaned; and (d) what steps, if any, have been taken to improve the cleanliness of RVMs and their surroundings.
Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien: Around 5% of the Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS)-related feedback received by the National Environment Agency and BCRS Ltd's call centre is related to the hygiene and cleanliness of the reverse vending machines (RVMs).
BCRS Ltd ensures that all RVMs are cleaned and serviced at least once daily. It also works closely with premises owners, such as retailers and Town Councils, to maintain the cleanliness of RVMs and their surroundings.
We encourage everyone to use RVMs responsibly, including making sure that the containers are rinsed and empty before returning them.
