Instead of making benches inaccessible to the homeless, my city has installed normal benches alongside trashcans with a special shelf where you can place empty bottles, so those in need can pick them up and collect the bottle deposit (typically EUR 0.5).
The sign says "pass it on".
I love that. ♥️

I'm in the NL now and i only get 0.15 euros per bottle, where do you go to return them? 8-0
I've seen a few of those too though and they're very cool 👍

I'm looking at a receipt from the supermarket. I bought a few drinks, 15c statiegeld each. I used the robot to return 3, got a 45c credit. It ain't 50 cents is all im saying. Nobody in NL cares about 15 cents so they still toss them in the trash everywhere i go.
I'm a German resident where the deposit is 25c, 4 makes a euro, so people are SERIOUS about returning / donating cans and bottles.
I am not knocking the NL, love the country and its diverse people. But .15 cents isn't enough.
