Well, it saves them from going in a land fill though. And they collect the bottles *from* you round here. You just put them out once a fortnight and a recycling wagon comes round and collects them.
Probably still just go in the landfill at the end of the day... ;)
Aye. But when we run of sand to make glass and oil to make plastics, it'll be economical to mine landfills...
There is that.
Hah, never thought of that. Plastic mines! :)
I don't understand why the bottles aren't collected, washed and reused, like Barrs used (still?) do with bottles of soda. The energy to recycle the glass must be quite impressive.

I was quite impressed by the lengths ther Germans are going to to recycle stuff.
Even plastic bottles have a deposit on them, and all supermarkets have a machine that accepts bottles and returns your deposit.
