Bottle Recycling

Rubbish must be sorted in order to be recycled.  
Some types of rubbish are collected around our place and picked up weekly.

Non recyclable items need to be put in white plastic, and the blue one is for plastic bottles and tins (including bottle's cap or lid). These plastic bags can be bought in supermarkets.

For empty bottles and jars without cap or lid needed to be thrown to selected containers. 

It easily found around the neighborhood. 
They're grouped together, one for clear glass and the other for colored glass.


But if you don't find these containers, other option is to go to a supermarket which has a machine to collect glass bottles.


Put the bottle in the circular slot. Push the button when it's done and it will give you a voucher with certain amount (standard beer bottle is 10 cents each). Next you can head to a cashier and get the money.

*In 2009 Belgium remains top in the EU with a glass recycling rate of 95.95%, followed by the Netherlands with 91.27 and Sweden with 91.14%.
