cans or plastic bottles have their own machine to collect and process the returns. It prints out the receipt when you're done and you can use it in the store. Nice and easy and no mess like back in the old days.
Errigal is a 751-metre mountain near Gweedore in County Donegal, Ireland. It is the tallest peak of the Derryveagh Mountains and the tallest peak in County Donegal. Errigal is also the most southern and the highest of the mountain chain called the "Seven Sisters" by locals. Wikipedia
A bitter laugh from here, Bill. Oh so often I have to walk around and try to find some staff cause both machines are "not working" - it´s a pain over here! And even if they work you have to take the bottle/can out and in again often.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find even worse: They installed containers for bottles for students who "drink" on benches and are too rich to bring them back to put in there so poor people have easy access to that to recycle. Poor people = retired people. I could cry when I see that. Cause also I see myself there some day, too. A per se good idea gone wrong (in Germany). Before those people went with bare hands into the bins... Progress made in Germany... Sorry - I didn´t want to start the week in a miserable way. But I think we should not hide that, either...
Reciclar é importante. Imagine só quantas bandejas de lasanha o Jon já enviou para a reciclagem. rsrsrsrs

We don't have that here, that I know of...(USA) . If I'm wrong, someone correct me. There's just not any in my area. When is the world going to stop being crazy?
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet day, Bill...

Seems like a great system. Here in Ontario a deposit is paid on wine and beer bottles and cans, which is refunded when they are returned. Other metal and glass containers are set out for recycling and are picked up by the municipality.
ReplyDeleteSimilar system here...
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea actually
ReplyDeleteThat's a good thing. It looks different from the ones here.
ReplyDeleteYou remember that as well then
ReplyDeleteAt last a remedie against al those bottles lying around.

ReplyDeleteHappy Monday ,
Cheers
That's very practical. Nice and easy. : )
ReplyDeleteWe put ours out in bins which the city collects once a week.
ReplyDelete"Such a smart and convenient system! ♻️ I love how easy it is to return cans and plastic bottles without the hassle. It's great for encouraging recycling while giving people a little reward they can use right away in the store. Every country could learn something from this! 👏🌍"
ReplyDeleteThe machines are a treasure.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had those where we live, Bill. Nifty idea!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a cool system! The US is far vehind in recycling, I fear.
ReplyDeleteWe have bottle returns like this at our grocery store. The problem is the homeless park themselves all around the kiosks to and boldly want the receipt for the money. A safer way for us is to take the cans and bottles to our Bi-Mart store. You just have to bag them up and tell them how many you have.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! Wish we had those machines here! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fine they have machines to deal with recycling. Our city collects recycling, but I'm not sure where it goes once it is collected.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great system when the machines work.
ReplyDeleteI think this system is being introduced in Wales shortly. I know it's been about for quite some time in countries like Finland.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen anything like that around here.
ReplyDeleteSiempre es bueno reciclar. Te deseo una buena semana. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteIt would be easier if the machine just spit out the cash.
ReplyDelete...I wonder if everything collected is recycled!
ReplyDeleteGret idea that. Recycling.
ReplyDeleteWe have that down here but on a much bigger bases.
Excellent little machine! There are still a lot of other things that need recycling!
ReplyDeleteNeat.
ReplyDeleteVery clever.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
a perfect system, wish we had the same thing here.
ReplyDeleteThey also started appearing around here near me.
ReplyDeleteInteresting photo!
That's great, I haven't seen anything like that here.
ReplyDeleteSmart.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a good system. Here, we have recycling bins in our garage. When they get full we take them to a trailer that is parked in a neighboring town. No money for the effort :(
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds a good idea.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Great idea, wish we had those here.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE bottle returns! We have them and they're wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNot seen here.
ReplyDeleteWonderful initiative. Recycling is the way to go!
