EN: to sell bottles; to gather and sell used bottles
This is the OG side hustle. Before online selling, there was "magbote." It's the act of collecting empty bottles (usually beer or soft drink bottles) and selling them to the junk shop or the roving "dyaryo, bote, bakal" guy for some extra cash. It’s sustainability and entrepreneurship rolled into one noisy, clanking kariton.
From Spanish "bote" (bottle).
