Note that some beverages bought in glass bottles may have refund value for the return of the empty bottles at the participating sellers. In Czech this is called Óvykup lahviÓ.
But what to do with cans and metal? Very few locations have bins for metal, they are grey. If there isn’t one where you live, you have to take your metal recycling down to the local recycling center which can be found in every district.
