By Cillian Sherlock, PAA trio of enterprising porters are using the deposit return scheme to raise thousands of euro for their hospital. John Collins, John Lenihan and John Keenan initially planned to collect used bottles and cans to pay for a Chinese takeaway on their final night shift of the month at Cork University Hospital. In their first fortnight collecting after their shifts ended, the men had converted the used drink containers into €820. The total has now reached €2,000, guaranteed the re-use of around 12,000 bottles and cans, and is set to continue. CUH porter John Collins recycling used cans and bottles.
