If you do sort this out, poland, don't do it in the strage german way where you have to visit like three different stores to hand in your bottles and cans.
Disposable bottles can be returned to almost any shop, but refillable bottles must be returned to a shop that also sells this type of bottle. I do not think there is a much better solution. Forcing shops to take back everything would be quite chaotic and very expensive.
In my experience very few shops take cans sold at like pizza places and kebab shops, and it also seem to have to be the same shop, the same chain is not enough. In Sweden every shop with a pfandmachine takes all (exceptions for foreign bottles, some they take but do not give pfand for).
That's not true. It doesn't have to be the same shop, the shop just needs to sell the item. Someone else mentioned Edeka and Rewe, which both have varying inventories. Therefore the specific shop might not sell the item you bought in a different shop of the same chain, therefore it's not returnable there. Many large shops (don't remember how large they need to be) are required to take everything though.
Fair enough on that point. Does not really help though. It is not very convenient still if you have to browse the shop before you can return the bottle.
