Put your deposit next to the trash can

About the volunteering opportunity
Many people rely on collecting returnable bottles to supplement their income. To do so, they often have to reach deep into trash cans, which is unpleasant, unhygienic, and sometimes even dangerous. If you place your returnable bottles next to the trash can, you’ll spare them that hassle and show them some respect at the same time.
Your Tasks
- Don't throw empty returnable bottles or cans in the trash while you're out and about; instead, place them next to the trash can where they're clearly visible.
- Make sure they’re stable so no one trips over them.
- If there’s a return ring or a return bin next to the trash can, use it.
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity you don't need any German skills.
You don't need any special qualifications to get involved, just an empty returnable bottle and a moment of your attention.
Time required
Once
Important notice
It's best to place glass bottles upright and not on sidewalks or bike paths; that way, they'll stay intact and no one will get hurt by broken glass.
Location
This project is location independent.
