I was collecting some bottles and after trying 5 grocery stores who all told me they don't accept bottle returns (happy to collect the "deposit fee" though!) I gave up and threw them away in the regular recycling bin.

In Germany you must accept returns and give back the deposit if you sell bottles or cans that have the deposit attached.

What a concept, maybe our legislators could do something useful for a change and make similar rules.
