We may see some grocery store chains lead the way with a uniform set of washable recyclables that people can bring back for deposit money. This also works well for city cleanliness, i.e. you seldom see a beer can sitting around for long in any area with foot traffic, because there's always someone who occupies the niche of bottle gatherer for deposit money.
