Abstract
A method for an RVM system and an RVM system configured to implement the method. The method includes the steps of: receiving a set of used containers from a user through an infeed; initiating a new collection session and establishing a Session ID; initiating a transfer of the Session ID to a user via physical or digital means after the new collection session has been initiated; establishing a resulting return value for the set of used containers; linking the resulting return value to the Session ID, where the initiating of a transfer of the Session ID to a user is performed before the step of linking the resulting return value to the Session ID.
