At max that's 5.95 an hour or at minimum 3.96 an hour. Kinda shitty pay, and 60% of what was recycled was just burned anyway. That numbers for Germany BTW where it's the highest in the world. On average less than 9 percent gets to be new plastic worldwide.

The weight loss is good to see though. Excersize is good for your body and spirit

Anyway next I'm off to tell some kids Santa isn't real and that the tooth fairy is just their already poor parents giving them money to have them believe there's magic in this world preserving their sense of wonder a little while longer.

You’re forgetting the person is also making the streets a cleaner place, having fun ( I enjoy picking litter), great for mental health, and choose your own hours.

That's complete Bullshit. PET which is what these bottles are made of has a recycling quote of 98% and over half of the PET used in the production of new bottles is coming from recycled bottles

As the other commenter said, the bottles actually get recycled; if they weren't they wouldn't have a system where they pay for the return. And it doesn't make sense to count it as "pay", as in compare to a normal job pay, cause it's not. Dude is walking around and cleaning the environment, gets free PS5 out of it.

That lazy fucker should come down more often and to their own work.

If they're already working a full time job and just need the little extra money to get buy something nice for themselves, the pay is kinda irrelevant. Far simpler than on-boarding for a part time job you'll only need for 3 weeks.
