Abstract | The document discusses reverse vending machines. Placed outdoors in supermarket parking lots or indoors in the lobby of the grocery market, these hightech machines exchange aluminum cans (or other containers in more specialized machines) for cash, coupons or redeemable receipts. The placement of reverse venders (RV) in or near supermarkets has made recycling more visible and more convenient, although the machines have yet to fully reach industry goals. |
