@@JasperwithaJ It depends on the demographics and the area, some people have never seen this, and there are other places where it's available but people just simply do not participate. It needs to be mandated further.
I usually don’t do the actual running the machine bit, but i do pick cans and bottles off the floor. Makes decent money if your area has rubbish troubles.
13 dollars, that's like 2 full meals in the US, from bottles.. Damn, bottles would be FLYING away from streets if the US implemented such a system. Homeless people would be eating well.
That's a thing that happens in Norway. We'd have parties at college and there'd be people coming to pick it up (students would also use pant for beer-money)
I remember the glass coke bottle deposit version of that in my local supermarket just towards the time that PE began to replace glass entirely. The full mechanism with sorter is quite a substantial investment for basically doing sorting and converting change. At least they're making an effort.
I know most would get bored by it, but I am very easily amused. So I would really enjoy using a machine like that. We don't have anything at all like that where I'm from.
@@ankra12 Sweden has also had them since the 1970's. But swedes invented the pant system back in 1884 but you did not get money for the glas bottles but they were turned in to new bottles.
