In NYS they have a 5¢ deposit, not many are tossed and if some are
there are people who subsist from collecting all sorts of deposit
bottles. Thing is plastic bottles don't survie long, UV light breaks
them down rather quickly... better than glass bottles... I can still
remember when parks, beaches, and roadways were littered with
shattered glass bottles, a lot of people were rushed to the ER with
gashed feet and most flat tires were due to broken glass bottles. I'm
very happy there are plastic bottles now, when I see any I pick them
up and cash them in with my own. Unfortunately there are still lots
of glass beer bottles.
