<div class="">clearly „reverse vending machine" is a completely different term/concept than „vending machine", although it plays with the idea of using the same words and change the meaning by adding „reverse" to it</div>
<div class=""> </div>

<div class="">It is also a clearly related concept. I hereby propose:</div>
<div class=""> amenity=reverse_vending_machine</div>
<div class=""> reverse_vending=bottle_return</div>
<div class="">Problem solved.</div>
