Economics are kind of a good way of saying its not environmentally viable with current methods tbh
baffles me how many people lack the decency to carry their plastic bottles/bags to the nearest bin and instead throw them on the ground
I dont get it either, youre walking past it anyway, why are you just dropping it instead of holding onto 10 grams for 20 more feet?
and you get 15-40 cents back
its nice deal
huh?
you get a deposit on plastic bags?
(we get 15-40cents per bottle back when you recycle em to johnfrums)
and i think almost all our plastic bottles are recycable so poor people keep them at least from streets as they collect em
our government is now putting a deposit on plastic bottles like we already do with glass bottles
it's pretty based
Damn that is a lot of money comparative to here
Like max is 10 with glass bottles topping out at 20ish
i think its currently 15 from glass, 20 from small plastics bottles and 40 from large bottles
hell as kiddo i made couple hundred euros out of bottles as there was huge festival once a year in my hometown
and after it the place was flooded with beerbottles and what not
then there startted to be stupid adult "baseball clubs" etc who had "official deal with the place to collect em" to keep kids out and money for themselves
for glass bottles I know a couple of the breweries here will take your empty bottles and give you a discount on their beers in exchange
sure local lawyer but stop ot that shit in few years
sounds like a pretty good job tbh assuming you collect 50ish bottles (as a kid ofc)
as kid it was usualy 100ish euros per haul (large black carbage bags full of heavy glass bottles and large plastic ones)
you could tolerably DRAG 2 bags and 3 if you macho-manned it out
some smarter kids (like me) made deal with local supermarket that 2 full large bags was 100 euros if filled to prim
nobody counted em it was honor-deal
they took the negatives what ever there was left if any
(most of time i think they won on the deal)
usualy you managed to get 1 to 2 hauls in day if lucky and fast
so 3 day event + afterparty beach event
you could make decent dosh
main reason why "adults" got interested from gathering the trash
I mean, as long as it keeps the streets clean.
(given 2 hauls a day needed REALLY good weather during whole event)
and its somehwat local tradition to throw the empty plastic and beer bottles on the grass for the gathering kids (at least back then it was)
tfw kept the 4 bottles of beer I got for FREE and in essence made 80 cents by returning them
we printing money here
so if you knew the group they luckily even hold the pile for you until you pass second time
ofc all the titties and stories you saw and heard was whole other bonus level to it :P
milkers 🙂
i wish making few hundred euros would be that easy these days :P
