## What is Botlo?

Your empty bottles aren't trash – they’re currency!

Got a pile of returnable bottles at home but no time to hit the recycling machine? Or maybe you want to earn some extra cash while keeping your neighborhood clean? Meet Botlo – Poland’s first waste-sharing app that connects people who have recyclables with those ready to collect and cash them in.

How does it work?
Post it: Have empty containers? Pack them up, add a quick note (e.g., "two bags of bottles by the oak tree"), and post your listing in 30 seconds. Get rid of the clutter without leaving your house! 

Pick it up: Want to earn? As a Botler, easily browse the map in your area, reserve a package, and pick it up from a neighbor, a student, or a local business.

Get paid: Take the collected bottles and cans to the nearest reverse vending machine (RVM), and the entire deposit goes straight into your pocket. No contracts, no boss – work whenever you want!

Why should you have Botlo?
1. Deposit Scanner: Not sure if a bottle is returnable? Use our barcode scanner – in a split second, you’ll know if the packaging is part of the deposit system and how much it’s worth (e.g., 0.50 PLN or 1.00 PLN).
2. RVM Map: Find the nearest working return point. Thanks to community reports, you’ll know in real-time if a specific machine is full or out of order.
3. Save Time: No time to return the bottles yourself? Post an ad – a Botler in your area will surely pick them up and return them for you!
4. Clean Conscience & Ecology: Every bottle returned through Botlo is a guarantee it goes to recycling, not a landfill or a forest. We save water, energy, and raw materials.

Botlo for Business: Does your company generate a lot of waste? List it on Botlo! You’ll get a tidy office, hard data for ESG reports, and a real way to support the local community.

Main Features:
- Intuitive waste-sharing map
- Instant deposit packaging scanner
