A Lanarkshire-based MSP has welcomed the announcement of 140 new jobs which are being created in Motherwell as part of Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).
Gillian Mackay says she is “delighted” at the news of the employment boost for North Lanarkshire.
From August 16 this year, people will pay a 20p deposit when they buy a drink in a bottle or can. The empty containers can be returned to one of the thousands of return points that will be available and claim 20p back for each of them.
