The largest city in the state that four decades ago pioneered five-cent deposits on beverage containers

As someone who lived out in the country when growing up and seeing pop bottles all over the side of the road I have no problem with this. Wish my state did it. I always had to take a bag out and collect the bottles before cutting the grass along side the field. People are slobs.

I was in Michigan recently at a friends house and was going to throw away the bottle in the trash and she said no hold on I take those back to the store for a refund..no big deal.

When I was a kid we would go out collecting bottles and turn them in for the deposit. Great way to get ice cream money.

I don’t mind the bottle returns. I usually end up giving the bottles to local youngsters for helping me out with things.

I live out in the country (in Virginia) and we have no bottle deposit law. There are some pop bottles, but the bigger problem is glass beer bottles. That won't be fixed until laws against open containers are repealed.
