Elsewhere there were privately-run bottle-deposit schemes until relatively recently. One was active in Scotland until only 2015: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-33985022.

I spent years collecting and returning those glass bottles, and to this day maintain that Irn-Bru tastes better from a glass bottle than a plastic one!

I had no idea the program had stopped, but I guess it must have been around the time I left Scotland.
