Ireland's Deposit Return Scheme at Dunnes Stores

From 1st February 2024, all Irish retailers will be required to charge a small deposit on bottles and cans that feature the Re-turn logo.

The deposit amount depends on the size of the container:

150ml to 500ml = 15c deposit

500ml to 3 litres = 25c deposit

Customers can then return their empty, clean and undamaged containers to a reverse vending machine in-store and get this deposit back in the form of a voucher. This voucher can then be redeemed for cash at the till or used towards your grocery shopping.

Please note, your Re-turn deposit cannot be used to reach the spend threshold of our €10 off €50 and €5 off €25 vouchers.
