New BCRS refund portal for transaction issues as scheme enters full rollout
The service will first be available at SG Recycle machines in the north and west of Singapore before expanding islandwide.
Starting on October 1, Singaporeans dealing with transaction problems under the beverage container return scheme (BCRS) can now submit refund requests via a new digital portal. This portal will replace the previous process, which took up to 30 working days for verified refunds. Between April and September, over 48 million beverage containers were collected through the scheme, saving 823 tonnes of material from incineration.
The portal's soft rollout began on Thursday, as the BCRS entered full implementation. Users must scan the QR code on their service ticket or upload a photo to returnright.sg/refund. The remaining information, like full name, bank name, and account number, must be provided. Some requests may take longer if additional verification is required.
The portal's rollout began with SG Recycle machines in Singapore's north and west before expanding islandwide.
