Prior to Michigan enacting the bottle and can deposits, the highways were littered with beer and pop cans. They disappeared once the deposits went into effect.
Where I play softball in the mornings, there are water bottles everywhere even tho there are garbage cans within 10 feet of each dugout. Pigs don't care, they just throw their trash on the ground and we end up picking them up and putting them in the trash cans.
Me too...it's the way to go on polluting.
In these (rural CT) parts, there are plenty of bottles and cans (almost always liquor or beer) scattered on the roadside despite a deposit.
The drunks don’t care.
Since so many people will not throw trash away, esp. in populous cities, and in which many people collect redeemable containers, then for am for the increase, if not a vast expansion of items. On the other hand, paying people per volume of such light trash might be better. Now if one for old TVs and monitors was viable...
Agreed.
