Cash for cans is on the way after the Government announced details of a nationwide system that will give consumers cashback for empty cans and bottles.
You will be able to get 15c back for a regular small soft drink can and 25c for an ordinary plastic water bottle of 500mls or larger.
However, it also means that drinks in cans and plastic bottles will become dearer because there will be an extra deposit tax slapped on these drinks to help pay for the new scheme.
