And you are saving the planet by recycling.

Remember deposit bottles - soda and beer?

Small bottles 2¢, quart bottles 5¢ - and that's when having 5¢ was a big deal!

You could get a full size candy bar for a nickle!
The local corner store sold small bottles of Coca-Cola for 7¢!
And no taxes on either one!

Heck! Our generation was recycling before recycling was cool!

Fond memories, Vlad.

We’d go up and down the alleys looking for bottles to turn in.

Heck ya, our candy money.
