Thank for your informative video I just watched a video about CA CRV which led me to your channel Your comments re: people in need I agree with along with the caveat of the need for people to have transport to recycle stations ( if they exist outside of walking distance or at all) Best wishes from StL, MO 😊

Comment from : @brendawick

As an Ontarian, it's embarrassing how far behind we are in recycling 🤦‍♂brbrAlso, "compound interest" on those cans and bottles found on the streets

We have here in Germany a Slogan called "Pfand gehört daneben" means Deposit belongs next to the Trash Bins, to avoid it for People to put their Hands in the trash :) Not everyone follow this Slogan but its getting more and more popular And i think this is beautiful :)

I’m in Nashville Tn It’s by the pound for aluminum cans Honestly I don’t know how I would feel if they put a deposit on cans here There’s no market for plastic bottles Steel cans I clean them out as much as possible and I put them with my scrap steel I was introduced into recycling when I got a job at a Reynolds Recycling shop in February of 97 But I didn’t really do it like I do now until 2013 due to some major financial issues brought about by a drawn out nasty divorce and custody situation among other things It has become a bit therapeutic for me Now I think that I’m addicted to it

The deposit is $05 in NY and from what I heard there's supposed to be legislation to bump the deposit up to $10
Comment from : @gregelliott5016

Which cpuntry ?
Comment from : @himuhimel02

What about states on cans It makes no sense to me like I have a coke and Pepsi can that say all states on the can but brisk says only Californiabrbr Why, it's the same thing why does it matter it's just a different label
Comment from : @TheFTeam

I wish I lived in Canada instead of Ohio here in the US , I just turned in roughly 12,300 beer and pop cans and only made $186 because they are 47 cents a poundbut I still gather them all the time anyways because money is money
Comment from : @MissAmazanda

Here in Maine we have a pretty decent 05 per bottle/can, 15 large glass bottles redemption Either take them to a redemption center and receive cash, or some grocery stores let you return bottles and cans and use it towards your grocery bill We are able to return everything be sides Milk, dairy-derived products, Maine-produced apple cider and blueberry juice, Seafood, meat or vegetable broths or soups, Instant drink powdersbrProducts designed to be consumed in a frozen state, Liquid syrups, concentrates or extracts

Down here in Phoenix I'm lucky to have a scrapyard nearby that recycles aluminum cans and plastic bottles Thanks to this place, they've saved so much plastic from ending up in the landfill They have mountains and mountains of plastic bottles piled up in their yard The only downer is that they're only about 20 cents a pound We don't have a bottle deposit, though
Comment from : @kave9482

I would like it if you made videos of dumpster diving at record stores or dumpster diving at thrift stores to find vinyl records
Comment from : @justinmelanson5843

I live in Romania and got paid 50 usd for 880 pounds of plastic bottles , not a great deal :(
Comment from : @dragosgabriel802

Yeah Wish we had that here in sc I used to carry tons of bottles and cans when I knew I had runs up north Paid for my groceries while I was up there But I remember collecting coke bottles in the 70s and buying my first bicycle from them My parents would take me to the bottling plant to sell them
Comment from : @MrChunkydunk

Hopefully you will see this But when recycling plastic water bottles (the small ones) how many cents would i receive if i'm from Georgia I'm guessing it would be 10 cents
Comment from : @kNeXuS_

Why does Realemon bottle say return for refund, yet bottle depot won't accept it? (I'm in Alberta, Canada)
Comment from : @DavidGS66

Awesome, super informative Mr Thubprint

Amazing runthrough of bottle recycling worldwide! Thanks for mentioning Norway specifically too! We really do a lot of bottle recycling here, and ALL shops that sell bottles/cans have to accept them in return for cash or as store credit Small bottles are now NOK 2,- (0,28 CAD cents) and large ones at NOK 3,- (0,42 CAD cents), so it REALLY makes sense to recycle Families usually save up in shopping bags here and bring them with them every time they go shopping, and there's machines in every shop that will accept your bottles and give you a receipt Take the recept to the cashier and get the money in cash, or simply deduct it from your grocery shopping Still, Norwegians have a lot of money, so a lot of people will still leave their bottles and not care about bringing them to the shop, so we have some bottle pickers here too, but not like in other countries I've been to for sure Anyhow, this is my first comment on any of your videos! Shout out from Norway! Keep on scrapping! :D
Comment from : @ChineseDetective

Theres no deposit refund for bottles and cans in washington state if you try to take them to oregon for a refund you will get a $250 fine for cashing them in illegally
Comment from : @jesusmylordsaviorking3726

In Nova Scotia it's: all ready-to-drink beverages (excluding milk) are 005$ while liquor bottles over 500mL and domestic beer bottles are 010$brbrAlso it's NEWF-in-LAND not new-FOUND-lind
Comment from : @ImranZakhaev9

The Swedish system works well until there are foreign cans, they are just to drive to the scrap yard or as many do throws in nature, and unfortunately I must say, aluminum cans you need some for it to be worthwhile to go to the scrap yard
Comment from : @Swescrapman

Check out I took this 28 oZ side Powerade to my recycle place And they rejected They say they are no recycle that type of bottles Well if I pay 5 cents for a babble Should I get back that Money?
Comment from : @byronvillatoro7111

Some reason knows bye bottles and aluminum cans you return it the refund back it don't accept it here in America !!!
Comment from : @mattmccarthy6686

Great video 2021
Comment from : @isaiaflores6848

Cheers from Lithuania! The deposit is 01€ per can/plastic/glass bottle here No milk cartons, wine, or champagne, though, I still wonder why, as it uses so much glass By the way it's crazy to see you dumpster dive so efficiently, it seems people don't really like to recycle :) You wouldn't find as many bottles it the trash in LT as the return rate is 92

Comment from : @maickledeon

Some extra info, for you Professor Thub! Belgium and Luxemburg also have a deposite systembrbrThe Netherlands will have a deposit on small plastic bottles by July 2021 If trash in the streets isn't reduced by 2022, there will be a deposit on cans as wellbrNot all glass beer bottles have a depositbrThe crates also have a depositbrbrSome beer bottles bought in Germany for 8 cents deposit can be returned in the Netherlands for 10 cents deposit (I like to try every beer once, so I shop a lot on holidays and bring beers home)

Comment from : @raymondfrazier2436

Pretty sure quebec's 20c for larger containers only applies to beer containers When I turn in a ton of 2L pop bottles I get almost nothing not really worth bothering for anything except large beer cans here
Comment from : @Arthixful

Great information I wish Ontario recycled more
Comment from : @marilynward7681

Comment from : @jackpotdigger834

Is scrapping your full time job? If so that’s awesome, there is something new everyday!
Comment from : @chandlerd9219

Hi thub, in the Netherlands you hardly get any money for cans The aluminum cans can be handed in to a limited number of scrap iron traders! You don't get anything for drink bottles except beer bottles only the soft drink bottles live up to 025 cents and the beer bottles 010 cents Keep it up! super cool channel Greetings Wilco

Comment from : @SM-SM-SM-SM

Wonder why more US states aren’t participating in the bottle deposit return system
Comment from : @CrossOdyssey

Interesting stuff Canada definitely is on to it Here in MA at 5 cents a bottle it is just not worth it except for your own consumption bottles Which makes me wonder what is the critical deposit refund to make it worthwhile picking? Maybe 15c on average? Thanks Thub
Comment from : @geofft3214

in Ontario you can take aluminum cans to the scrap yard the one I've been to was 46 cents per pound
Comment from : @Ghostinthedark100

i knewand i still watched lol !! in New York i remember when they started the 5cent depositits only on carbonated and water bottlesand there are people that have routes on recycling day to collect before the trucks comemy dad used to save his for a lady every weekleaving it better than he found it !!
Comment from : @beanz199

What's up thub? I live in the Netherlands and we indeed have the reverse vending machine for plastic bottles, but that's basically it Trash picking or street scrapping is not allowed, and unfortunately we've got nothing for cans, just for beer bottles (regular pilsener only) and soda bottlesbrThe vending machines we have are only taking in proper bottles, so nothing crushed like I see you're doing in your videos Is there no regulation for "full size" cans or can you crush everything regardless to save space?
Comment from : @imAlico64

Good video!! I hope PA starts the bottle trend!!
Comment from : @DumpsterMarcus

In Norway you can get 025-035$ per bottle
Comment from : @andreasnguyen2540

I live in Newbury, England, our local Sainsbury’s has a bottle and can machine on trial - they pay 5 pence per item (which they must sell in store, if not they reject it) and they pay in vouchers which you can use in store!
Comment from : @stevehitchman1846

So sad to watch this down here in the lower 48 Attitudes on trash, recycling and cradle to grave responsibility for manufacturers might be summed up as: you bought it, it's yours, you deal with it Love your work, vids and 'Leave it Better than you found it - Keep doing the thing!'
