Pet Flaskor: Photo of the Day #22

The recycling machine, located at Willys, a supermarket, accepts your bottles, scans the labels, and spits out a receipt indicating the value of the recycled material. You give the receipt to the cashier when checking out and the discount is applied to your purchase.

They must have these gizmos somewhere in the States, like Seattle or Portland, right? I can imagine a right-wing argument against them: 'What will the homeless do? Recycling bottles and cans provides them with a source of income and a way to serve as productive members of society.'
