It does cut down on litter though, I can't proof it scientifically but I know there are people who walk and bicycle around the rural roads looking for can and bottles on the side of the road and looking in trash cans to make a little bit of extra money. You don't see it on the interstate highways but you will see it on the other roads, etc.
I use to live in Michigan many years ago, I now live in a better state politically (Tennessee), and were I live you will find people going along the roads picking up the aluminum cans to sell them for scrap aluminum.
Yep. I did not assume that. Thank you for the information though...
I just brought a bunch of cans in for recycling. Picked up a couple of 55 gal drums from the steel bin. I still need one more. Slack tub for my forge, coal storage bin, burn barrel for an attempt at making charcoal, and I need one more for an attempt at making a composting barrel for my Wife's rose bushes.
