I would need to make an 80 mile round trip to cash in my returnables. We just throw them in the trash. Even the homeless won't take them because there is no local place to get cash for them. Recycling of Aluminon cans makes sense, but plastic wine bags and bottles can not be recycled. The deposits that are collected and not claimed go straight into the State budget.
