A small number of retailers have had to replace reverse vending machines used for the Deposit Return Scheme for plastic bottles and drink cans.
Re-turn, the company that rolled out and administers the recycling scheme, said the number of machines changed amounts to less than 1% or around 23 in total.
The statement comes as some consumers have complained machines were not working when they tried to return bottles and cans and collect their deposits.
