we have a 5 cent bottle and can deposit here

Mostly I throw my cans and bottles in dustbin as they are not very beautiful in my house. Sometimes I return them to store. Mostly I forget to return them to store and throw them in dustbin.

We turn them in after we have built them up a bit. My mother-in-law gives her cans to us after a while. We usually get enough to put gas in 1 of our cars for 1 week.

It's been years since we had a company collect their bottles and pay for them. Bottles and cans now just go out for the recycling.

Here in Minnesota we don't have a refundable deposit. But let me say the highways are strewn with pop bottles and cans. All sorts. I wished they'd get the fee here also. The main reason that sarted was to see if it helped clean up the cities and it does work. Anyhow another suggestion is if you have children send them to his school office. The schools here will take them & use the cash for school criteria just like the box-tops,can tabs, and milk bottle tops. That's it for now. Happy postings from Grandpa Bob

We don't have the deposit scheme any more so I just drop my bottles in the bottle bank for recycling and cans go in my recycling bin at home.

Either I return them when I go shopping or I give them to a homeless man who's always in our neighborhood. If I happen to see him looking for cans when I have a bag full, I figure he needs the dollar or two from them more than I do.

It is a long time since we had a deposit on bottles here in Ireland and we never had a deposit on cans. Now, most stuff comes in plastic bottles and I put these in the recycling bin along with the cans. I take the glass bottles and jars to the bottle bank.
