Alderman wants deposit company to pay for new trash cans

Amsterdam Alderman Hester van Buren is requesting that deposit return organization Verpact pay ‐8 million for 8,000 new trash cans designed to reduce litter caused by people searching for deposit bottles and cans. While the city argues that high tourism and increased cleanup costs justify the request, Verpact has currently only agreed to a ‐1 million contribution in addition to its existing annual payments.
