By having a more serious system for recycling and throwing away trash, Austria is helping to minimize its impact on the environment and the climate.
Many things are being done to ensure that the people of Graz recyceln, or recycle, and properly dispose of their trash. There are recycling centers throughout the city where you can dispose of any trash you may have, including old electronics and scrap metal. These centers ensure that the material gets recycled rather than ending up in a landfill. The most popular method of recycling here is one that is incredibly helpful! When you buy bottles here, part of the amount you pay is what's called a Pfand, or a deposit. When you empty the bottle, you can take it back to the grocery store and return it to a recycling machine. If you do this, you can get your money back! Not only does this help the environment, but you save money, too!
