You get 25c?? We only get 15c, not worth the PS level effort.
In ireland its 15c for small bottles, and 25c for large ones.
Here in Arkansas, I don't know any "trash" that you can pick up for a deposit. I think when I was a small child in the 80s you could do glass bottles, but when plastic came in that ended. As a teen, and up to maybe a decade ago, you could get paid for aluminum scrap (by weight), but both of the metal recycling places in my county (Polk) do not pay for aluminum anymore (they will accept it, but not pay for it).
You don't get anything: you pay 25 cents (for some glass bottles it's 15, for some 8) when you buy the drink and you might get your own money back if you bring it to the supermarket, they accept it, and the machine is working at the time. It's a scam.
We get 5-10. And were one of the most expensive countries to live in.
You also pay the amount, it's a deposit.
Yes but it makes it a terrible side hustle for the poorest of us and when the return on taking away the bottles is not worth the effort it defeats the whole point
Which country is that?
We don't get them ;)
