actually I don't I live in a small house and also have a small place to put my bike, don't want to stuff my waste everywhere.
But I collect lids from beerbottles and give that to KiKa, a dutch organisation that does research after why children get cancer. I think that is fitting well by my chess school. Kika gets money for the lids. My chessschool is there to give children some fun and happiness in their lives. In my youth, books and a good game of chess were the only nice things I had, I hope the children I teach will have a better youth, but I also give them something extra with my lessons and my chessbook that's in stores maybe with christmas. (I hope)

Here in many states, beer, soda, water, and juice cans and bottles are refundable. Oregon pays ten cents each. There are “machines” at most grocery stores that pay out a “script”, you then present it to the grocer and he gives you cash. My neighbor has been hoarding refundables and asked if I wanted them. I said “yes”, he filled my car back seat and trunk. That was $30.00 dollars worth. I got lucky, there was only one person ahead of me so I didn’t have to wait. It took about 20 minutes—not bad. The neighbor said he has at least twice that much left…I’ll take them! Free $$….works for me…

In my HUMBLE opinion, recycling is a total waste of time. You use water to wash the bottles. You use fuel to go to recycle center. The recycle center has, far as i know, expensive equipment to melt the plastics and that process pollutes the air. I think it's just a lot of make-busy for the businesses and/or governments that recycle.
If people would stop making babies, the problems would go away. And so would a massive amount of pollution and congestion and disease. But nobody thinks of it. You can go ahead with your recycling, but years later if you're still THERE you will grudgingly admit to yourself that everything is poorer, more congested, more polluted, and more expensive. Trash EVERYWHERE and that you have accomplished NOTHING, just like the Wars on Poverty and Hunger. The money's gone and there's more people more poverty, more trash, more disease, more congestion, and more hunger.
But go ahead and do your recycling, if it makes you feel better.
The END!

Yes they do this in Finland also, the funny thing is people have started mini businesses collecting cans and getting money from the recycling machines , in all major stores. Nobody makes large bucks, but it's a tidy bit of beer money.rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Good man Butcher, I used to collect lemonade bottles when I was a kid, usually was able to buy my mum a pack of cigarettes and a few sweets for meself.. beer

Russian Standard Vodka very nice, that was a limited edition bottle I got a couple of years ago, makes a cool novelty light, the middle one was a bottle of Patxaran from the Basque Country wave

Good morning, Firebrand. I SO hear you. (I admit that I’m capitalizing on the actual cash-back end of it. You are absolutely spot-on regarding the washing of items, pollution, extra gas, and so on.)

You would most likely not like Oregon. When I brought up the very things you mention, the usual retort I get is defensiveness and anger- the over-all Oregonian way of thinking is superfluously adamant that recycling is the answer. No amount of reasoning or facts help. One of my chief complaints, as it were, is for people to consider this: Packaging is often “coded” as to whether or not it can be recycled. Plastic containers have either arrows or triangles, etc…on the neck or bottom. They are very difficult to see. Cardboard must be corrugated and/or be printed somewhere - one way or the other. In many cases, a box must be fully dismantled before you can even find the code. And, there are pesky staples and gummed adhesive from hell to breakfast. I’m in my 60’s, have seen pretty much everything…I know ONE thing: your average Joe or Susan is NOT going to turn bottles upside down and dismantle boxes to find near- invisible icons and numerical codes, then do MORE work cleaning and drying items, and so on. The world doesn’t work that way. Hell, half the population doesn’t even comb their hair or tie their shoes, FFS!

I validate your posthandshake
