With the advice of the National Disability Authority, Re-turn, the DRS operator, is embarking on an engagement process that will ensure accessibility issues for the Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) are addressed meaningfully and in line with best practice.
I understand that Re-Turn will convene the first meeting of an advisory group in May and has sought nominations from a number of disability organisations who will provide membership for the group.
Individuals who have difficulties in returning bottles and cans to their local retailer are encouraged to contact Re-turn directly and they will work with the local retail community to find a solution that works for all involved.
