Powys County Council, GB incentivizes container recycling with its Scan | Recycle | Reward pilot

Powys County Council, GB Scan | Recycle | Reward Pilot

Powys County Council partnered with the Digital Deposit Return Scheme Alliance (DDRS) for the 12-week trial. Brecon area residents download a mobile app and scan QR codes on containers from participating retailers. Each scan results in a 10-pence reward for the user with cash rewards or donations redeemable starting at £5. Containers can be scanned at home or at public recycling points during the trial. DDRS will use pilot results to shape recycling rewards elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
