You don't understand
It's called communitial recycling <:aliOK:251417852156837888>

I doubt someone with better job expectations would dig for bottles

Nah cause they make a huge mess afterwards. They dig thru the trash, get the bottles, and then make a huge mess

The trash Is all over

Also full time bottle collectors exist in Germany, too

Nah these are women in their 70s and 80s it's like a hobby not a job

Usually I just give them bottles if I happen to have some when I see one passing by

They are retired

Bottle collectors are a wholesome meme these days though

They've no need for the money it's more or less to pass the time and have something to show for it

People put their bottles next to the trash cans

I wouldn't mind it if they didn't make a mess, recycling is good.

I once gave a Swiss plastic bottle to a bottle collector in Berlin and he called me a son of a bitch

Because he can't recycle the Swiss bottles

How tf would I know?

:(

You mother fucker stealing his cash

Lel

I see these women spread all the food everywhere and bring rats and shit, and they spray all their cardboard and bottled with water

So it's heavier to make more money

Du scheiß hurensohn
Stop scamming him

It bothers me when chinks pretend to care about one thing but it's really about something else. Like chinks don't use AC often because they don't like cold and don't want to spend money, but they will say "oh it's for the environment "

Or they say the grandma's who dig thru trash are doing a public service to the community , but they make things worse

I understand they are being optimistic

And I can appreciate that

But I've seen how nasty their hearts are and the real intentions are there

I've only met one chink who actually cared about the environment

And was honest about it and the other trash in China

At this point I think the government cares more about the environment than the people

@porco you can't recycle foreign bottles ??

No there is a specific logo on the bottles in Germany

And only with that logo, you get money for recycling

same here

Ah but they will still take it, but no money?

In Switzerland, you can recycle everything in general, but you don't get money

Nope, there are two standards
If it's neither one, it goes into the trash

No in Germany they don't take it at all

pay 10 extra cents for every bottle when buying, get it back when you recycle

25 in Germany i think

Right?
