Abstract: A system for collecting waste objects for recycling including a reverse vending machine, RVM, and a carrier arrangement adapted to receive a devaluated waste object at a first location having a first elevation, and adapted to transport and deliver the devaluated waste object to a second location having a higher elevation than the first location and an inlet of the RVM. The system further includes a buffer arrangement adapted to receive the devaluated waste object from the RVM at a third location and to deliver the devaluated waste object to the carrier arrangement at the first location. The carrier arrangement includes at least one carrier adapted to move repeatedly between the first location and the second location. Further, a process of transporting and collecting waste objects.
