Why aren't they giving the glass Acqua Veritas bottled water away for free? Why would they expect anyone to pay for tap water instead of the other bottled water brands? At the prices of the garbage removal, this would surely work out cheaper, and be the best way to reduce the plastic waste volumes and encourage people to stop buying bottled water.

At the least, they could have a refundable €1-2 charge on the bottles that would be returned when the bottles are given back. It wouldn't be difficult to set up - Europe already has machines which refund money on returned bottles.
