Finland has this recycled bottles theme (this is a ukraine thread, read on)>you get 15 eurocents for 0.33 cm aluminum can and 40 eurocents for 1.5 liter bottles (things other than mentioned are in between these values but here we have highest and lowest now)>man spent in his own words at least more than a year collecting bottles and cans when ever he could find a throwaway thing someone did not bother to return to store>he collected them for as long as his collection hit such levels he knew its 100 euro worth of money>he returned them all to stores a few days ago and donated 100 euros to Ukrainehttps://www.iltalehti.fi/kotimaa/a/3c3c8891-43ca-46d6-b8eb-5a4fb19e4a53apparently all of them were bring to Heta villages K-market, its a small places, only 1000 people live in the village
this picture is not from same event but it shows how this thing works
I am impressed by you ability to make these banal stories engaging
>>536993907Kiitos for the non-news Finn town crier.
>>536993907>clogs up the bottle return system for hours>so he can donate a measly 100 dollars to UkraineWow. I guess just donating 100 dollars straight from his account would not have made for such a fantastic publicity stunt.
>>536994024We have this system, too. 100 bucks for free is pretty good.I would call giving it to Ukraine retarded, but if somebody is collecting bottles on the street, it's probably not the most stupid thing they've done, just the latest
this incentives hobos to ransack garbage bins, get what they want and then leave the trash on the ground.
>>536997294It's actually the opposite. States that have bottle deposits have noticably less litter because lower middle class people (the main soda and beer drinkers) return their bottles instead of just throwing them away so there is way less for the homeless to find. As opposed to having no bottle deposit and only homeless people recycle aluminum
>>536997561it's actually what I posted. because I've seen it.you owe me an apology, cupcake.
>>536994952Lol for real. Honestly seems like it would have been less work and time just to get a temp job
>>536997738Do they not add on the cost of the deposit at purchase in your country?
>>536993907>he returned them all to stores a few days ago and donated 100 euros to Ukrainekek what a retard
>>536997846they do here. you used to get half the added cost back but now you get it all. a whole 10 leafcents per thing
>>536997984Yeah they add it on here too I'm pretty sure that's the main reason people actually return them. If they didn't I could still see them getting tossed at high rates
Good work Local-Finnish-News Anon, soon we will convert all these non-finns into our superior culture.
>>536998062maybe, but in that case it would 'free' money and not merely reclaiming money you already spent. that being said, im sure it would be some kind of tax payer funded program anyway so youd just end up paying more taxes to fund it, thereby making the money you get kind of a tax rebate.
>>536997846yeah they do.
>>536993907imagine the smell
