I recall "exchanging" my bottles/plastics for $5, once. It's not compulsory. At the time, I thought it was a fortune. Please note that the bag contained upwards of 20 soda bottles. Homeless people often go digging through everyone's recyclables to gain petty cash. I live in America. I recall “exchanging” my bottles/plastics for $5, once. It’s not compulsory.

It's still like that here. You buy the bottle, drink what's in it and return it. As simple as that. I HATE the system in Germany. Especially when we go there as tourists there's no way we can return the bottles to every shop we visit. And they now even do that with cans (well, it was like that the last time we went there...). Awful. I hate it. Heh. They should change it back to how it was, shouldn't they?? I don't understand why they changed that in the first place. Now my dad doesn't really want to buy any bottles or cans in Germany... Which sucks because we need to drink too. ;-) It’s good to hear that in Germany it used to be the same as here.

And it almost sounds as though they're trying to make people NOT want to return their bottles... lol. I thought recycling should be something everyone wants to do?? Why would anyone want to go through THAT kind of trouble! Yeesh. That… sounds unbelievably ridiculous.
