An empty beer bottle at a Munich station. A 76-year-old woman, who was collecting used beer bottles to supplement her pension, has been heavily fined and now has a criminal record after picking up an empty bottle at Munich’s central station. At the time, she had been warned about collecting bottles as it was against the station rules. If people “rummage in the waste bins, then a lot of waste falls next to it,” a spokesperson from Deutsche Bahn said. The collection of returnable bottles inside and outside of Munich’s main station seemingly remains a problem that nobody wants to take care of.
