Deposit Return Scheme Fan Club
With bottles and cans littering 96% of surveyed beaches across the UK last year, we are extremely excited for Deposit Return Schemes to start across the UK in October 2027!
This page highlights organisations and community groups who are also excited for the Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) to begin; helping to reduce litter in the environment, increase recycling rates and move us closer to a circular economy.
Growing up in the 60's and 70's it was just part of life getting money back on your empty lemonade bottles! We just need to bring it back as soon as possible!

We want to stop bottles and cans littering our beaches, polluting our seas and harming our marine wildlife. Other countries have seen drinks-related litter decrease on their beaches after the Scheme has started and that is why we’re a big fan of DRS!"
