There's a nice elderly lady in my city here in Denmark, that collects bottles. Almost everyone knows her and whenever there's gatherings in parks in the summer, everyone greets her happily and helps gather bottles and gives them to her. She sends the money to support her family in Asia. It's pretty wholesome.
I like the fact, that he left the bottles for people who actually needed them, but counted them into his total anyway, considering he COULD have recycled them, but since it was a test and not "real", he left the bottles behind. He can still conduct the test, but won't hurt the homeless people.
Back in the days, Germany didn't have that bottle recycle system. When a German boyfriend visited me over the weekends, he would go for fresh bread sunday morning and also bring loads of empty bottles. After a Saturday night with everyone out and around partying, there were a lot around.
The Container-deposit on bottles dates back to 1922 in Denmark. For Germany, 1991. There are quite a few countries in Europe, that has fees on bottles. You can see which, on the article, named "Container-deposit legislation" on Wikipedia. Under "Europe", there's a map.
This city I live , some people leave bottles with what you can get money from recycling on trash bins or somewhere else you can see them, often they put them in normal bins and this city has a lot of kids and older people who just goes to bins and puts their arms there and search cans and bottles ( makes me always worried cos there could be needles and stuff ) . Most shops we have like after 8pm you get -30% or -60% sale from soon out of date products, which is so good that shops does that, one annoys me that shop called Lidl changed their -30% to -20% sales, but yeah, and also one shop is open til 10 pm and they put all their fresh pastries, salty and sweet ones -60% sales, I usually try to get sales from shops but when shops starts -60% sales at 8pm, some people goes to shops already like 6 or 7pm to get those sale foods in carts and go pay them at 8pm, which sucks.. cos I've seen many times that some people have cart full of those sale foods and sum can be that high as 50€ or more... so it's unfair to us who needs to actually calculate in shops what you can afford...
16:07 .. The trashcan has a holder on the side with text saying you can donate your bottles worth money to someone else. Sometimes, people can't be bothered to take their bottles with them for just a few kroner, but instead of throwing them away, the city added these so less fortunate people don't have to rummage through trash for recyclables. It's kind of like "one man's trash is another man's treasure." It's better for the environment to have them recycled anyway, so it's a win-win.
Whenever I'm at a festival, I usually just sit with my friends on the grass field. Homeless people tend to come to the festival with trash bags and goes around collecting all the plastic bottles from the people. and I've seen them with HUGE bags. They could surely made over 100 KR. (its in a park so theres no payment entry)
It's over 90% of the bottles aso that are returned in Denmark if it's part of the return system 😊 Not long ago vine bottles aso got into the program too 😎🇩🇰❤️
we have bottle recycling, and then there is the big round one filled with wine bottles and other glass shards. Almost all bottles collected for money, have a "return tag" on the back with either A,B or C: 1. 1,5. 3 kroner. I knew a lawyer who has passed away, what he did was in his free time, he collected bottles and when the year was at christmas, he gave 50000 kroner to a homeless man so he could start a new life. It was something he had done since he was young.
We love your rambling 😁 The bin he found where there were plastic bottles at the side. The text on there says, pass on your Pant = the money you get from recycling bottles.
We also have a word for going in the back and "Skralde" in the containers. I have worked as a voluntarist in food waste "shops", i really like the energy and the people doing this, it's completely different from a work with salary here in Denmark.
I live in Aalborg ( Denmark ) and i acasionly go and shop in Wefood i have several times found a hole breed for only 1 danish krone, so if they have had free Leverpostej i could easely get food for a week for 6 danish kroner
A yeah, and maybe they even had a cucumber, some pickles or pickled root beets, or "Russian salad" to put on top of the liver pate. I guess it was also a challenge that he couldn't really prepare food for himself (no table, plates, cutlery...)
It is a shame that some very big and developed countries do not have the can/bottle recycling system in use. Cans going to normal general trash bins, ugh.... The person who buys the can pays the recycling fee of like 0,15 € for a small can and the person who returns it gets the same 0,15 € back. Oh yea as a kid I also digged out all the bottles with this kind of fee from the recycling bin, that is how we got money for ice cream and candy.
oure coins go in following 50øre (danish cents) is a Copper coin 1,2 and 5 kroner (corwns) is silver , or more chrome with a hole and the 5 coin is the biggest of all of the coins, then there is a 10 and 20 kroner (crown) those are gold coins not pure gold but a bronz alloy So yeah we have fantasy curency xD
Similar system we have here in Denmark 🙂cans and glass bottles are pant C (1 kr), small plastic bottles are pant B (1.5 kr, maybe also some larger glass bottles? I don't remember), and large plastic bottles are pant C (3 kr)
...if we all lived by what we just needed daily ...we would really stop wasting a lot of food. But we often buy to much we end up not using. We impulse-buy often...myself included, so we all need to change our mindset..and habits for grocery shopping and money-using in general.
It is mostly bottles where we can get money to return them for recycling. There is a lot of both glass and plastic that we don't get money for handing in for recycling, and unfortunately that can be clearly seen. It is not only 10%, so to say that 90% is handed over for recycling is completely wrong. Furthermore, we do not profit from handing in bottles for recycling, because when you buy e.g. a bottled or canned beverage in Denmark, you pay a deposit on the bottle. So when you return the bottle for recycling in a vending machine in a shop, you get a voucher which has the same value as the deposit you had to pay for the bottle when you bought it, so it actually goes to zero. For example if you buy a beverage that is less than one litre, there is a 1 kroner deposit on the bottle. You get the 1 krone back by returning the bottle to the machine. You can then use the voucher as payment for goods in the store or get them as cash or charged to your credit card. And just the fact that people can collect enough bottles from bins to buy food for on a daily basis and survive that way, I guess most people don't care about the deposit when they just throw the bottles away instead of returning them to recycling.
@@lælkjhgfdszxdfghjklæ Another more educated Dane here to tell you that you're both wrong, then. Not only ARE more than 90% of bottles recycled, it's 92%[1] in fact, so saying it's less because you see some of the road occasionally is completely ridiculous, but the value of pant isn't simply determined by the amount of liquid it contains. Under 1 litre doesn't even equate to 1DKK pant, so that in itself is even wrong. It's only if it's under one litre and is a glass or metal container. If it is plastic, it's 1,5DKK. Anything between 1-20 litres of any kind is 3DKK. Denmark recycled over 2 BILLION bottles and cans last year. What an incredibly weird thing to lie about. Get your facts right before spreading misinformation. Embarrassing. It is not my job to educate you, consider it a favour.

Did U know, in Denmark we have a social tax card, so that the socially disadvantaged e.g. homeless and others can earn up to DKK 41,280 (£4,635.92) a year on casual work, small jobs, without any other deductions from their social benefits. 😉
Dwayne, you didn't survive on just 1 pound but by multiplying it. But you were able to learn a little bit about some of the Danish systems. Best of luck to you in your brilliant future.
Lmao! Done about the same thing in London as he did with the almond lady. xD I was in a market and looked at the hams and salamis and stuff. I went to the counter, and casually asked what something was and whether I could have a sample. the clerk was all "No problem! Here TASTE, TASTE! And he gave me 4 peices of 5 different products. xD I was genuinely curious about the produce, but I was dumbfounded and couldn't even say thank you or explain myself lol
about getting bottles to get change in copenhagen, it could proberly be defficult as new person, because theres some realy trained people who walk areound constantly to get some money
Bro did not drink anything, he's not surviving without water lol. Luckily the tap water in Denmark is clean, so you could just ask for a cup of water or find a restroom if you dare... I know a place where you can just walk in (public building) and grab water from their sink or even make some coffee or hot chocolate if you want to. There's also places like the local library where you can get access to the internet or nap on one of the many couches. Read all the books you want for free. If I was homeless in my town, I would probably be just fine.
Yes, we Danes may be reserved towards strangers, but we are usually quite nice and helpful, if you ask us nicely 😊 Ps. It's against the law to beg on the streets of Denmark, but should you find yourself in a pickle, just be nice and ask people for help - Many would likely have given you some food or anything else you need.
sodas and so on are more expensive so that we want to recycle them, therefore, a hole lot of people drive to Germany to shop for soda, beer, cigarettes and so on because its a hole lot cheaper
Thats a minute long video at best its expensive here XD. Sadly no I have not been to Wefood its only the big cities that got them so far it would cost me more to travel there than buying at the local. Prizes also change depending on whether you live in the big cities or in the boonies XD. Yeah we have dumpster divers here to the point it became a problem. Sounds like you should become the Politian who makes that change
At first.. its Kopenhagen, kinda the whealtyest place in Scandinavia.. and 80% of Danes live in Kopenhagen! And the rest of scandinavia is not poor eigther!

Recycling discarded bottles is basically self-employment that benefit everyone and our home-grown homeless shouldn't have to do that to survive. Besides, it mostly used to be teenagers that collected pant, so your analysis is wrong.
We had PANT (paid recycling) of glass/plastic/aluminum can bottles from soda to wine when I was a child in the 80s not never thougt about that it doesnt exist every where 🫙already in 1885 there was a paid recycling of glass bottles for oil In Sweden
