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?

If you collect enough you can get some bucks for Dutch beer cans though

Yeah

25 on large, 15 on smaller bottles, 8 on glas bottles

Though they wanna raise the last one

and on the box you also get something, I remember that was a lot

the "Kasten" of beer

Yes

But I always forget about it

Should be like 1, something

There was a Christmas market in Freiburg that asked 5 Eur for a glass bottle of Rothaus and gave you a 2.50 Eur paper sheet with written Pfand on it

I bought one, copied the paper sheet, took all my glass bottles from home...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Having huge Pfand is kinda "usual" for such kind of markets, not sure why

it's like asking to be scammed

So you can't recycle bottles from outside at all?

In Berlin

no you can I think

you cant recycle bottles from outside germany

to be fair, we separate our trash into 4-5 different bins already by default (for general recycling)

what they are talking about is getting cashback for recycling

foreign bottles who are not part of the cashback system just go in the appropriate bin, i.e. plastic or glass
