I grew up in Vermont where there was/is a 5 cent deposit on cans and a 10 or 15 cent deposit on larger bottles or liquor bottles. I did dozens of, "bottle drives" where we'd go around and ask houses if we could take their cans to raise money. If we spent a few hours doing it we'd get a couple hundred dollars easily. But damn I've never smelt anything worse than a blue massive trash barrel filled with beers cans that are all a year or older. Worth about $20 on it's own though.
