Recycling in Sweden

Well, here it seems that everyone recycle and pay for do it (not much)! But this time i'm referencing specifically to plastic bottles and cans.

Here, for recycle, which in Spain would be the green and yelow container you must be to the supermarket. If you go there with a bag full of cans and bottles (I used to collect when the party finished in the residence, if before don't steal it the indian guys, the bastards xD) you have to throw one by one in a vending machine type embedded in a wall (like the photo). If the can is good, you'll see on the screen that it add half SEK or 1 SEK depending of the type of the can or bottle and if the can is very squeezed then the machine, give it back to you and you must to throw it in another container. After you finish, hit the button and you get a ticket, that you can change for money in the supermarket, or buy something and so get a discount or for the supportive, you can give it to charity.

So, this post is dedicated to my friend David who told that no worth to recycle. Then i was pointing in my pc the quantity which I've come to save, I know that isn't much but with this amount you can buy 6 pizzas or 8 strong beer (%10 of alcohol).

Savings (Each number corresponds to each time that i went)

16+10+5+38+24+15+20+13= 141 SEK (15 € approx.)
