The Excise Department is to introduce a system where liquor consumers will return the bottles back to the liquor outlets instead of dumping them on the wayside.
Deputy Commissioner of Excise Kapila Kumarasinghe said that as an initial step they hope to have a refund on the smaller bottles (175 ltr) so that if the user returns the empty bottle to the outlet, he would be entitled to a refund.
This is after it was revealed that most people who consume liquor from the 175 ltr bottles tend to throw them on the wayside, thereby polluting the environment.
There are also plans to introduce machines to crush beer cans so that people do not dump the empty cans on the wayside.
