In Michigan we have a 10cent deposit on most soft drink bottles and cans. Most beer bottles and cans also have a 10cent deposit.
This is how it works
When you buy a soda you also have too pay a deposit of 10 cents. After you finished your soda you bring the can back too the store and get your 10 cents back.
Michigan bottle deposit program has been a huge success. No one in Michigan throws out there soda cans. Which keeps all that material out of our landfills.
I wish more states would start there own bottle deposit programs.

We used to have that program here. Softdrinks come in plastic now, and beer in glass and plastic. We have council organised recycling now.But I dont think they really know how to get rid of all that plastic. Some plastic and glass can be ground down and used on road surfaces.
