Do return cans/bottles ( your own) for the 5 cent deposit ?

[Doug]

I generally do, but it sure "can" ( pun intended) get cumbersome.

With bottled stuff like say beer, I'll put it back in the original box, and return it to a "package" (liquor) store, as I buy something.

I don't dump cans on packies, ( we don't sell Pepsi, or Coke, or whatever, you happen to have) mostly wife's ****ing diet pepsi., so machine it, I hate running that shit through the machines at the supermarket, always fills up, and you wait 20 minutes for some retard, er "technician", to empty the ****ing bin. They sort of discourage returning the containers, in other words...

This whole thing is a failure. I remember when it started ( in CT) around 1980, well a nickel then was almost like a quarter, now !

It was worth collecting discards, or at least saving your own stuff, back then....

Now,I do it to be green, but most people just trash the containers.

Deposit becomes 25 cents a can/bottle, then they come back. I don't endorse that !

How about a $1 deposit

That's a 12 pack of Pepsi for $3.99, plus a $12 deposit, $15.99 please !

[Doug]

I meant do you in title, can't figure how to fix it.

[nosniboR11]

.45 cents a pound in texas for cans

[paco]

No, I use my bottles to make home made bongs

[BGS 9.5]

no, never even gave it any thought to be honest.

[Andy117]

No, but I live in NJ so we don't have a deposit.

[SamsNCharge99]

hell yes I do....every weekend or 2 weekends, me and room mate go to return cans, we get about $5-$8 and then we go to McDonals and get some food

[Doug]

Well the original purpose was to make the bottle/can to be worth enough to return, and recycle the Shit in the 1st place, eh ?

It ( returning) has now become a nuisance, might as well trash the stuff, if you're not green.

I couldn't make a day's pay hauling a wharehouse full of returnable bottles to the redemption places, I might net $100 after gas , going a pickup load at a time ?

[Doug]

No, but I live in NJ so we don't have a deposit.

Go for it ,,,,,,NEWMAN !


You better be right across the border.

[Doug]

It;s a nuisance fee, now . Many will just toss the cans.

not working as intended, IMO.

returning them is hard , in a deposit state, real hard to imagine doing it in a non-deposit state, for like 2 cents a can.

[JohnAnthony]

No. I don't. I do recycle when I have a chance to though.

[whatsgood5]

Nope, too poor for me.

[Boner_18]

I don't recycle. It supports the liberal myth that we are running out of resources.

[SamsNCharge99]

if u don't want the cans, collect them and send them to me. I'll 100% take them.

5 cents is 5 cents to me and my college friends

we will take what we can get, and they add up

[Reload]

I can remember doing it one time in college. Got about $2.50 from it. Was barely enough to pay for breakfast, but back then I figured what the hell.

A few months later, I'd end up working at the supermarket part-time and actually did the bottle and can redemption work sometimes. Lots of people showing up wanting that couple of bucks and were real patient about it no matter how long the line was.

[obamaismyuncle]

I don't save/collect cans, and I do not recycle at all. Everything goes in the trash can.

It wouldn't work well with a mountain of cans and bottles available to you on an acre of land, and you got a pick-up truck, store is a few miles away....

I think you'd be talking about , maybe $3/ hour, after expenses returning the shit.

The deposit is a joke at 5 cents, might as well just toss it, ain't worth returning it, but I like the recycling angle.

I'd recycle stuff , if I could, but it is not allowed by my bitch wife !

[dodger33]

Use to in college when i had parties at my place and would get about 30 bucks or so and buy a handle of jack with it!

[DOMINATER]

sorry guys i was 10 maybe, would wash out bottles collect cash to play pinball machines, when I was a 5 cent s to play, and fred flinstone would gice me his bottles!

[in2thethickofit]

That's giving her some respect there

[Doug]

That's giving her some respect there

I hate her gutz, wiish she was dead,actually !

I'd sort my trash into into paper,plastic, etc,....no problem, always used to, before I married the ****ing cunt....that's like #1,000 on my list of reasons why I hate my wife.

She axes me why I always watch ..."Forensic Files"....It's research....

[dodger33]

What does she have against recycling??

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

10 cents in michigan. everyone does it

[ZetaPsi808]

[Killer_Demo]

[Shortstop]

Recycling is cool.

[JohnAnthony]
