This is a pet bottle and can recycle machine. You stick all your cans and bottles into the machine and points are recorded onto a point card. You can use the points at local stores and get a discount. There is always a long line in front of these machines but they shut it down during golden week. I got a card for the machine but walking 25 minutes to where this machine is with a bag of recyclables is just too troublesome for me. After all, whether I use the machines or throw the stuff out with the trash doesn’t make a difference. It goes to the same place, I just get some money for it.
Is it true that recycle days and normal rubbish days make no difference and that nothing gets recycled? Just a rumour?
