So many of these petrol companies want to seem eco-friendly... why don't they have recycling bins at their pumps for when people inevitably throw out their bottles and cans, which make up a huge percentage (by volume) of gas station trash.
Would have to be labelled appropriately to make it clear that
it was not a trash container. Maybe its vibrant green with bottle-shaped and can-shaped holes to make it more obvious for those looking for a place to toss their McDonalds rubbish?
Market this to gas station companies as part of their "look at me I'm eco-friendly" campaign, and provide local pickup service for a monthly fee competetive to trash pickup.
Possibly baked in some cities, but not mine.

This makes sense, considering many
individuals frequently visit their local
petrol station on a regular basis. Pastry. |

Baked in Dubai, but I've only seen it in one. Recycle bins are more common outside supermarkets here. |

I've never seen it, and I would use it. (+) |

Baked in Japan, where all garbage is seperated at some point. |

I thought the tag-line is for new uses of gas stations that close due to unaffordable gasoline, as converting the stations into bicycle rest stations, solar power plants and the like. |

You don't have a can-and-bottle man? |

Even better you could give them your chip fat and they could process it into biodiesel. |

[+] Make these guys recycle too! I don't like to be told that I am being environmentally irresponsible just because I don't want to tote my trash around until I get home. Businesses such as gas stations, amusement parks, and indoor malls tend to generate an exorbanant amount of trash on a daily basis- none of which is being recycled. I am willing to believe that the average gas station generates more recycleables in a day than I do in year. |
