Nah, in Germany you're not paid for cleaning anything. You aren't getting any money: you are fined 25 cents (for some glass bottles it's 15, for some 8) when you buy the drink in case you don't recycle. You might get that money back if you bring the bottle back to the supermarket, they accept it, and the return machine is working at the time. It's a scam.

That"s not a scam. It's a solution. Take care of your Earth.

Unless the store is pocketing the money. I'm assuming the credit is going to a government program or non profit organization.

Absolutely! Take care of your earth! But you don't need to fine people for a loitering crime they haven't committed. Not all bottles have Pfand in Germany: soft drinks? Yes, juice? No, beer? Yes, wine? No. It's a hypocritical bullshit system.

Don't see how this is a fine. Take it back. Get your rebate. And bonus is that i don't have to walk through your trash.
