THIS IS THE LAND OF WASTAGE

Table water is really very cheap here,sometimes you can even get it for free i.e at petrol filling stations where they gift it to you courtesy of the fuel you purchased.That's a very good thing abi? now my problem is the recycling culture they have here with regards to containers especially table water containers,once you finish the water you have to throw away the container because it cant be refilled when you buy another one.
In our household of two adults,each container lasts us about 3 days so we use an average of 10 big gallons of water per month which leaves me with 10 useless empty water gallons.When i got here,i used to keep the containers by the kitchen door and my husband will go out with it and come back with another filled with water.Stupidly, i thought it was a refill until he told me that he throws them away before buying another one.
Here is a picture of the useless containers...
