DEPOSIT CANS & BOTTLES ADD UP
April 27th 2010 15:11
In many locales around the world, empty cans and bottles can be
redeemed for cash now thanks to the deposit laws. Yeah, it's
somewhat of a chore to bag all those empty drink containers
and lug them back to the store for a refund, but the effort pays
off in the long run.
I'm always on the look out for cast off redeemable bottles and
cans that other people toss on the ground. By picking them
up, while walking my dog or hiking, I make the environment look
a little better and make a few dollars in the process.
I found the easiest, hassle-free place to redeem these constantly
multiplying beverage containers is a dedicated redemption center
with people working behind the counter. Rather than deal with
cantankerous slow can and bottle machines at the supermarket,
I simply lug bags full of deposit containers to the redemption center,
plunk them on the counter and wait a few minutes while the employees
count them up.
Less than 10 minutes later, I'm outta there with a fistful of dollars
to spend on groceries or whatever. Too bad that most of the states
in the U.S. haven't imposed a deposit on all those bottles of water
that people insist upon littering the ground with.
Talk about a waste of energy and resources. The bottled water industry
is one of the worst offenders in the world.
