BCRS Malta

Which BCRS personality are you? 👀♻️

- The Weekly: keeps a bag going and makes their BCRS return part of the weekly routine.
- The Monthly: waits until they’ve got a serious collection, then makes one big return.
- The Collector: picks up every eligible container they come across, at home, at work, after a day out…wherever they find one.
- The Charity Giver: donates their 10c deposit to participating charitable organisations.
- The Forgetter: discovers three containers in the car weeks later 😅

No matter which one you are, every return counts.

So which one are you?

Liema tgħodd għalik? 👀♻

- Ta’ Kull Ġimgħa: Dak li jżomm borża apposta u BCRS hija parti mir-rutina ta’ kull ġimgħa.
- Ta’ Kull Xahar: jistenna sakemm ikollu ammont konsiderevoli, u mbagħad jirritorna kollox f’daqqa.
- Il-Ġeneruż: Dak li jagħti mill-qalb id-depożitu ta’ 10ċ b’donazzjoni lill organizzazzjonijiet tal-karità.
- Il-Kollezzjonist: Dak li jiġbor kull flixkun jew bott li jara quddiemu, f’daru, fuq ix-xogħol, wara xi ħarġa...fejn ikun hemm, ċert li se jiġbru!
- Min Jinsa Kollox: Dak li wara ġimgħat sħaħ, isib tliet fliexken moħbija fil-karozza 😅

Irrispettivament minn liema tip int, l-importanti hu li tirritorna kull kontenitur għax kull wieħed minnhom jgħodd!

Pero għidilna, int liema tip int? 👇

Summer’s winding down ☀️📚

As we get back into school, work and everyday routines, there’s one habit worth keeping.

Make returning your empty beverage containers part of your routine just like packing your bag, making your coffee or heading out the door.

Is-sajf ġej fi tmiemu ☀️📚

Hekk kif nerġgħu lura għall-iskola, għax-xogħol u għar-rutina ta’ kuljum, hemm drawwa waħda li ta’ min iżommha.

Agħmel ir-ritorn tal-kontenituri vojta tax-xorb parti mir-rutina tiegħek, eżatt bħal meta tipprepara l-basket, tagħmel il-kafè jew toħroġ mid-dar.

Did you know your container refund can do more than just come back to you?

When returning your BCRS containers, you can choose to donate your 10c deposit to participating charity organisations and help support causes that make a difference.

One small return. One small donation. A bigger impact. ♻️

Kont taf li r-rifużjoni tad-depożitu għall-kontenituri tiegħek tista’ sservi għal aktar milli sempliċiment tiġi lura f’butek? 💚

Meta tirritorna l-kontenituri tal-BCRS, tista’ tagħżel li tagħti d-depożitu tiegħek ta’ 10 ċenteżmi lil organizzazzjonijiet tal-karità parteċipanti u tgħin biex tappoġġja kawżi li jagħmlu differenza.

Donazzjoni żgħira. Impatt kbir ♻️

Ever wondered why the barcode matters? 👀

That little line of numbers helps identify your beverage container when it’s returned through BCRS.

When you return it, the Reverse Vending Machine scans the barcode to check that the container is part of the scheme, helping keep the whole process running smoothly ♻️

So next time you see a barcode, remember: it’s part of the journey from container to recycling.

Qatt staqsejt għaliex il-barcode huwa daqshekk importanti? 👀

Dak l-istrixx żgħir ta’ numri jgħin biex jidentifika l-flixkun jew il-landa tiegħek meta tirritornah permezz ta’ BCRS.

Meta tirritornah, il-magna taqra l-barcode b’kollox biex tara li l-kontenitur huwa parti mill-iskema, u b’hekk kollox jimxi sew u bla xkiel ♻️

Għalhekk, id-darba li jmiss tara barcode, ftakar: huwa parti mill-vjaġġ tal-kontenitur għar-riċiklaġġ.

♻️ BCRS Malta tkompli twassal riżultati b’saħħithom fir-riċiklaġġ!
