Over 5.6 million drink containers have been collected since the launch of the Deposit Return Scheme.
The group behind it says it's gaining momentum after a slow start.
It says there were thousands of containers returned every day in February, but that's now risen to hundreds of thousands.
Despite some controversy over the scheme, Re-turn says the figures show strong support for Ireland's recycling efforts.
Almost two-thirds of the total have been in the first 10 days of March.
Over 1.9 million transactions have been now recorded across 2,300 reverse vending machines across the country.
