I really dislike this idea. Living in an apartment means I put my recycling in a communal receptacle which is then put out by the building. If you had this rule I might feel compelled to take the extra time to bring my recycling over the the store or what ever to get the refund. Overall I see that as inefficient and annoying.

- waterlesscloud 12y agoBottles pretty much never make it from our recycling bin to the truck. Every single morning there's people scavenging all the bins in the neighborhood in a systematic way. I don't mind, really, since it all ends up in the same place anyway.

A minimal fee (for example, 10c per bottle) is very advantageous, because people with higher salaries will just throw them not minding the minimal economic waste. People in the middle will return them while doing the grocery. Finally, poor people will hunt for them. All of this, saves lots of garbage around.
