Actually it is not just the homeless guys who pick up the bottles. I've seen all sort of people picking up the empty bottles here.

One of my flatmates did it for a while to pad his unemployment money. It's probably not that normal to do, but anywhere else I've lived this would be unthinkable.

You can make a lot of money with it if you do it in areas where the homeless rate is low. Especially in the first years when it wasn't that common, I knew someone who made more than 40€ per hour with a good strategy of where to go. Best thing about it is that it's tax free and legal.
One of many things that impressed me in Germany.
