I can’t find anywhere to recycle cans. They recycle a lot in the Netherlands, but apparently not cans.
This is baffling, like a thousand-flavour ice cream shop without pistachio. I translate the words on every bin. I scrutinise the icons in case I’m mistaking one that’s actually a can. Nothing.
A coworker tells me they sort with “robots and magnets”, so people just throw all their metal into the trash. Some Dutch websites confirm this.
Now there are can icons on the recycling containers. Were they always there? Are the robots real? Did I dream that conversation?

Do robots dream of electric magnets?
Cans go to recycling together with plastic ;)
