Recycling Beer Bottles

Hi,

I was wondering if you get money back for turning in your beer bottles here? I noticed on the bottom of my beer bottles there is a 1 chf symbol and I saw a man with his empty beer bottles in line at coop.

Thanks!

Re: Recycling Beer Bottles

Hmm, haven't noticed that myself... I currently just take my glass bottles (of all sorts) to the recycling place and sort them into the right bins... waiting for an answer on this one myself!

Re: Recycling Beer Bottles

There are some returnables. Usually you pay a deposit on a crate.

Re: Recycling Beer Bottles

Just checked and my beer bottle as this on the back Depot -30. It depends on where and what beer you buy, if you buy beer from a compnay that wants the beer bottles back then you also have to pay a deposit for them, and they will give you the deposit back to encourage you to bring them back instead of just throwing them in the bottle bank
