In this part of Ontario Canada there are no deposits on soft drink
plastic and cans. There are not many soft drinks sold in bottles any
more. Beer bottles were always returnable and cans have been for the
last 20 years or so. This year they started charging deposit on wine
and liquor bottles. We have recycling for paper, cardboard and
plastics, and green garbage goes into the compost bin.
