Poor or homeless people collecting cans is widespread in Denmark. Teenagers especially seem to discard them if they're not at home.

Many litter bins have a small shelf for bottles, to save people rooting around in the rubbish.

Somehow, the fancy supermarket never has poor people returning the bottles at the machine, but the cheap one 200m away always does.

Probably because the bottle collectors don't want to spend the money they get on overpriced luxury stuff, so they prefer the discount store where the prices are better.
