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

but it was quite bullshit while it lasted

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

still upset we use the Euro

Germans have to literally pay banks to store their money because interest is so fucking low

hey at least you can still pay with cash in your trains for fuck sake

around here they changed even long distance trains to "card only"

what is largest piece of bullshit since they stopped selling tickets completly on short distance trains (pre-paid only)

but the trains never arrive here so what's the point of being able to pay with cash lol

privatize that shit

this years late trains centered around 30min late
