see immediately on which bottles you get a deposit

Deposit app

The organization Statiegeld Nederland has released the Statiegeld app. This application should help you recognize which bottles and bottles contain a deposit. With the application you can also see immediately how much deposit you will receive on bottles that you hand in.

From 1 July, a few things will change in the field of deposits. You therefore have to pay a deposit on plastic bottles of less than one liter; 15 euro cents. You will get it back when you return it. The deposit on large bottles remains 0.25 euro cents. The old bottles without a deposit are gradually making way for the new bottles with a deposit. These are provided with a logo. From the end of 2022, a deposit will also be charged for cans.

You can hand in the empty bottles at the supermarkets, but also at gas stations along the highway. This is done at the checkout, because an entire packaging system costs too much money. In time it should also become possible to hand in bottles at larger train stations. Because supermarkets are allowed to use up their non-deposit bottles first, it is possible that you grab another bottle without a deposit.

The Statiegeld app is the official app of Statiegeld Nederland. With the application you can see at a glance which bottles have a deposit. To do this, scan the barcode on the bottle. As mentioned, you can immediately see how much money you get back when you return the bottle. You can download the app for free from the Google Play Store via the button below.
