Wouldn't the city be able to collect the bottle deposit too? I'm assuming 5-15 cents each is much more than they'd get by recycling the glass.

- ams6110 10y agoThe whole point of bottle deposit laws is to motivate individuals to return the bottles, so the municipality doesn't have to deal with it.
- gbog 10y agoTo me it's so much better if some people can take care of this specialized and noble task. I'd hope the municipality would make it more convenient for recyclers to do their work and get more income from it.
