The scheme supports recycling PET bottles up to seven times and aluminum cans infinitely. Saturdays are the busiest days for recycling. SuperValu and Centra invested €28 million in RVMs nationwide to promote sustainable communities. Across the North West region, over 10 million containers were returned, contributing to Ireland's total of 210 million containers recycled in the last year.
