As Commodore of BBIRYC, I applaud this young lady for her efforts. One of those bottles looks like one that I accidentally dropped off of my yacht at Non-Mariners. If it still has the top on it I would like to have it back. Wasting beer should be punishable by jail time.

Because your solution is wishful thinking. I really wish just because something was right and moral, people would do it, but they don’t always. being lazy and having faults is so called “human nature” lol

I am impressed how she went from ten cents a bottle to dollar plus for a bottle. Rachael for Finance Minister!

Why should we need more Volunteers to take care of Bermuda? How about instead everyone takes care of Bermuda and stop being lazy with throwing away their trash whenever they see fit? Simple enough…but yet people are still being lazy.

The bottles / cans will need an additional charge to pay for the reimbursement, and that’s where the money comes from…

I beg to differ Oops. You easily put the 10 cents charge on the front end of the bottle charge. It is a trash tax and a model implemented by several jurisdictions.

Great thought, but I don’t think its financially feasible, I mean the money has to come from somewhere right?! We need more people to volunteer and care for Bermuda like Rachael to KBB!

It’s time,(well really it’s overdue)to place a 10cent deposit on bottles and cans/soda,(minerals)and beer bottles. Far too many people choose to toss their trash into the waters / trees and bushes…damn, even on the roadside with out consideration, not caring they may become harmful to others. Get on your “representatives” and lets change these Laws!
