You did not need to pay for this service. He not only sold them with milk but also with buttermilk, yoghurt, "gele vla" (custard) and "chocolade vla" (chocolate custard?).
The empty bottles were put outside with a note and he brought your order and you payed.
The last glass bottle with yoghurt and "vla" I bought was about 20 years ago.
Now you mainly see plastic.
We are surrounded by plastic. Even wine is sold in plastic, so is juice, all these soda's and nearly everything you eat.
I wish the age of plastic would stop and I could buy more in bottles.
I assume it ended because of its weight but most people have a car or bike now or their groceries are delivered at home. And even if it is not the case, if you have to carry it yourself you might think twice before you buy it. You also will think twice if you have to take care of your own heap of trash. What will you do with it?
If no one delivers all your groceries on your doorstep you you will get fitter by carrying it yourself (and who knows even appreciate it more what you eat and buy).

How about giving it a try yourself?
With my lousy, unstable connection it is the only app that still works most of the times.
Try it. There is nothing to lose
