I read something in the Q&A forum about how you have to do with your (beer)cans because there will be a deposit on it or something.(it was in german)
Is this true?
Because that would really suck

 

[Suwarin]

Yep they changed the law in Germany ..there is deposit on Beer cans...but they weren't able to find a solution...
So now you've got that strange situation that you can only bring back the cans where you bought them....
Hope there will be a change in the law..eventhough they said they are gonna take back all cans on the festival ground...but I don't know if you get your deposit back...
I'm thinking about switching to something else where there is no deposit....

 

[Lordwalter]

Yes, that´s true!
I don´t know how they plan to bring a solution to this problem. Because IT IS A PROBLEM!!!

Let´s wait and see!

Yeah, the new pfand system sucks. Now I have a large collection of assorted empty cans and bottles and I can't remember where I got them anymore.

That truely sucks...
Anyway...I found myself buying more wine recently...but somehow it is not the same as Beer...
And buying a crate with glas botteled beer is very unhandy...
Maybe the big 5,10,et. litre cans are a solution but ..I think the problem is obvious...

Sounds to me... more cans in the garbage....

Very unfriendly to nature

 

[Iscariot]

I think the meaning of that law is to prevent that.
How much is that 'pfand'anyway?

 

[Fallen_Knight]

Yes, but remember where we bought it... last year i bought from Lübeck...

 

[Iscariot]

So if I understand it right, you have to bring your cans back at thesame store you bought it? Do you mean the same store or thesame chain of shops?
I mean, You can you bring your cans you bought at the Spar in Hamburg back in the Spar in Wacken or only in that Spar in Hamburg?

anyway, this is madness!

 

[gnoff]

Just throw them away

 

[Iscariot]

ok, that is a simple solution
but if the deposit is hight and you've got a lot of cans, you might consider bring it back so you can buy more beer of it

 

[gnoff]

Very true, but for me, just few days at Wacken, I'll throw them away or give them to someone who feels like returning them

 

[dh|away]

...when you buy some cans in a store in hamburg, you have to
bring them back to the same store... furthermore you have to
show the receipt when you'll bring it back...


"dosenpfand" suckz !!!

Yeah even with the Pfand (deposit) the beer should be much much cheaper than in Sweden!!!
