I WANNA SEE MORE OF THIS KIND OF FLASHMOBS!!!
@K0ukito because you don’t do it for the reward, you do it because you’re a good person
…I pick up stuff after everyone all the time since I feel bad if I see people who pretend to drop trash due to not being arsed throwing it. Would be so awesome if this actually happened.
So – we’ve replicated it in HOUSTON, USA!
check it out!!

That’s the problem, thinking that it’s someone else’s “JOB” to do it. That’s a very self-entitled way of thinking and selfish. If there weren’t people who believe that it IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY to make this world we came into and whose resources we use into a better place for the next generations(i.e. our children, their children’s children and so on and so forth) then we would not have any of the amazing non-profit organizations that are constantly combatting that idea.
@MrVakoilija It’s blue which in the states means recycle and it also has the recycle symbol on its side
@MrVakoilija: You really missed the point.
What is the name of the song playing teenagers?
SO COOL XD
Did she recycle the bottle really? Isn’t that just a normal trash bin and the bottle will end up to a dump pit somewhere?
In Finland we pay a pledge that is bound to all beverage bottles. Let’s say you buy a 0,5l coke costing 1,5 euros. 20 cents of that is in form of pledge.
Money is given back to you when you return the empty bottle. The system is national, so you can carry your bottles back to any store.
The bottles are then recycled to new bottles!
hahaha this is cool!
This should have way more views than this.
I just lold
at least they weren’t ninjas!
i wish something like that would happen if pick up trash in public!!!! =P
wtf XD
Awesome!!!
somehow it’s really touching, isn’t it?
She will never pick up a bottle again
Hahaha great
That awkward moment when…
That settles it, I’m getting the hell out of the U.S. and hauling my ass to Quebec.
warum schmeißte denn 8 cent pfand bei 0.49 in den container?
Germany thank you for caring abot the earth.you are blessed.
@ dutbrothers nicht für die meisten ^^ wiederverwendung, von sowas haben die glaub noch nie gehört ^^
Is doch normal
Alter wie leben die eig auf der Welt, ist doch das normalste müll und glass zu trennen, sachen solchen ja auch wiederverwendbar sein
@BenTibone
Guy, I tell YOU a secret, recycling is one of the things that help our industry and society. What’s wrong with saving money and resources or creating an industry that provides so many jobs? Btw. social and socialistic are two different things.
Oh no you dropped the wrong bottles into the recycling container, the beer bottles have 8 €-cent refund on them. The Tea, and water? bottle have 15 cent refund on them
We dispose our wine bottles and other glasses there.
most glass and plastic bottles (25 cent refund), also cans (25 cent refund) are brought back to the store ^_^
for me this is normal ^_^
recycling created here lots of jobs…
@turkthagorqas It’s ridiculous how advanced many countries are in comparison to the United States, that has geared up to profit the few and squander the many like cattle, with a flagrant disregard for humanity, respect and decency.
@ChristopherJManess I agree with you 100%. We USED to do this here, in the U.S.
I’m 62, and as a child, I used to pick up glass soda and beer bottles on the side of the road and return them for the deposit that was paid on their purchase. I also worked @ a Coca Cola bottling plant, and sorted and washed bottles for refill.
Too bad our society is too lazy, disinterested, and short-sighted to reflect on the past.
The 15ct pawn annoys a lot of people but the good thing about it is, that even the poorest try to make a living by searching the waste for bottles. Its no beautiful sight because it makes you realize, how many poor people are around but its a win win situation. Those get a few euros to at least buy them food or so and the rate of recycled plastic is quite high.
@heldgop the 8ct pawn is actually a kind of caution, so you dont through it away on the street.
@attk177 u are right that a bottle that was dumped in these containers shown in the videos doesnt get reused (they recycle the glass, not the bottle), but the bottles in the store ARE reused. if you buy beer in germany (>95% is sold in glassbottles i would guess) you pay 8ct pawn for the bottle and you can return them to any store that sells the same kind of bottles.
these brown bottles are somehow standardized and even the smallest brewery uses them. while big companys have own designs
girl, i tell you a secret: socialism sucks and so does recycling!
@momrey obviously you have no fucking clue, because not one bottle that gets thrown away will ever pass the quality check to just use it again. little parts break away and make it dangerous.
every new bottle consists out of 60% recycled glas! the wear marks are because they run through 3 big industries – productioning – filling at brewery – export to stores
youre not just wrong, but also a moron
