Very often I have to wait for the next tram at Essen main station. Sitting and waiting one cannot avoid noting, how many people are looking for bottles dumped in the bins. A lot of people, and in the course of the time more and more, are forced to make some extra cash to make their living.

The sticker shown here was placed next to such a bin and points to the fact that bottles should be placed next to the waste container, not inside. Human dignity is inviolable. This should apply to all, including bottle pickers.
