Another nice idea that some unsung people came up with in some council backroom. If you have a bottle or can that you can't bring to a deposit machine, you don’t chuck it in the bin. You leave it on ‘Pantringen' (the deposit shelf) so someone else can take it and get the money back.
Deposit bottles discarded in public places are typically collected by the marginalised. Safer and more dignified to take it off a shelf than root around in bins. Fair play to whomever came up with the idea.
