Donate your deposit

Where to put your water bottle before boarding the plane? Since May 2017, passengers have been able to donate their returnable deposit bottles for a good cause: The "Donate Your Deposit" (Spende dein Pfand) initiative started at the former Tegel Airport and was then extended to Schönefeld Airport. Since October 2020, collection bins have been placed in the terminals at Berlin Brandenburg Airport.

"Donate Your Deposit" (Spende dein Pfand) is a cooperation between Der Grüne Punkt, the educational and employment organization Goldnetz gGmbH, Berliner Tafel e.V. and Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH. In Terminals 1 and 2 at BER Airport, collection bins with the inscription "Donate Your Deposit" (Spende dein Pfand) are located directly before the security controls.

So-called "deposit officers" from Goldnetz gGmbH empty and clean the bins and sort the empty bottles. Der Grüne Punkt takes care of the logistics, meaning they handle the transport and recycling of the bottles and ensure the deposit money is collected.
