One wise, one evil, one just a sucker and one who does not know how to get his money back: we used the Haggadah to understand what you must know about recycling containers marked with a deposit

Against four boys spoke the theory of recycling: one wise, one evil, one just a sucker and one who does not know how to get his money back.

Smart, what does he say?

Every day my family and I use beverage containers marked with a deposit, such as glass bottles, cans and small plastic bottles.

At home we have a special bag for these containers, in which we keep them.

Once a week, on a Friday afternoon, the whole family walks along with the bag to the relevant business closest to our home, a minute or two walk away.

It could be a supermarket, a grocery store, an explosion or a convenience store - the main thing is that the same place sells products of this type.

We return all the containers we have collected, get back the deposit money we deserve and sometimes even indulge with it on some popsicle or chocolate for each one.

Evil, what does he say?

What about me and all this recycling?

The easiest thing is to just throw everything in the same bin and forget about it.

Yes, I know I pay more money for these beverage containers, because the deposit is included in the price, but it's only 30 cents per container usually.

What will I do with 30 cents?

Oh, you say you can return up to 50 containers at a time to any business?

It can already accumulate without a little money being mine.

Sure mine.

Well, I'll keep my containers marked with a deposit, and bring them for recycling but whenever I feel like it!

Oh, you also say that businesses are not allowed to limit the hours of receiving the containers?

It's really hard to be evil properly here.

Wise, wicked, just a sucker and the one who does not know how to get his money back - what do they say?

Just a sucker, what does he say?

What does a deposit mean?

You want to tell me I pay for glass bottles, cans and smaller plastic bottles for money and can get it back, but do not?

But that's my money.

how could it be?

Well, if at least it was written on these containers that they are bound by a deposit, I might have known.

Write???

About everyone?

And I, a true Israeli, just throw them in the trash instead of easily returning them to countless relevant businesses?

What a sucker.

And he who does not know how to get his money back, what does he say?

I did everything you said, I went to a suitable business and he just did not agree to take from me the containers marked with a deposit, so I put them in the regular bin and went home.

What else could I have done?

Okay, report to the Department of Environmental Protection.

This is a good option.

And also file a civil lawsuit in a small claims court?

Another interesting option.

And apply to the Consumer Council?

Turns out I have a lot of ways to make sure I get my money back, by credit or cash - just need to make it happen.
