Block DRS drop-off rota

Rotate who walks the crate to the reverse-vending machine

On panel estates, the nearest reverse-vending point may be a 400 m²+ supermarket a tram stop away, fine for weekly shops, heavy for daily empties. Agree a simple rota: each participating flat takes the lobby crate one week per month, returns with a receipt photo, and the group reconciles totals in the stairwell chat.

What you can do

  • Társasház boards: pin the rota beside the postboxes, four flats, four weeks, repeat
  • Ground-floor shops: ask the corner store if they will accept hand returns during opening hours (required for large grocers; small shops can opt in)
  • School eco clubs: audit how many DRS containers your block generates, then design the rota to match

How it works

MOHU equips machines to recognise registered packaging; towns above 1,000 residents must have return points. A rota spreads the walk so nobody free-rides on goodwill.

Why it matters

Reuse culture sticks when the logistics are fair, not when one neighbour always carries everyone's cans.
