That's your choice, good for you!
Me and my buddies leave our bottles and cans next to the trash cans after drinking following our ball games. They're always gone by the next morning.........
At 10 cents per can and bottle, somebody is making money and nobody is complaining about it........
except the naysayers such as you. LOL!
I take my empties down to the local redemption center and just give it to them. I never take the money.
I tell them that they are providing a Service and I do not want the State getting this revenue, it is as are most taxes ‘thievery.’
