More than 30,000 empty bottles have been collected since December,” she said.

If something else, such as waste paper, is thrown into the machine, the machine will spit(吐) it out.[来源:Zx“Supported by the government, the reverse vending machines will be introduced to colleges and universities soon,” Feng said.
