Th...We have a bottle return policy here in Alberta. That includes cans, bottles, cartons, etc.<BR/><BR/>Each can - not a beer can - is worth 5 cents. Beer cans are worth 10 cents. The bigger the container - such as a large plastic pop container - 20 cents. <BR/><BR/>It all adds up to lovely money in the pocket and keeps our province very very clean. You often see people out on their bicycles - with specially made contraptions to hold bottles - like saddle bags - attached to the bicycle...another way to go green while recylcing the returns. They can be seen combing the highways - and some people claim sections for themselves!! <BR/><BR/>I always wonder why the rest of the world doesn't get in on this? I think helping some child in Bangladesh is a wonderful use for the cans...but there are many other uses for the rest as well. Everything we recycle here is turned into something else...it's wonderful really. And I do like getting a little money for putting in some effort.<BR/><BR/>I personally have at least $100 worth of bottles to return at the moment. I'm wondering what I will do with my new-found cash?aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-69427422046670309762008-05-11T16:45:00.000+01:002008-05-11T16:45:00.000+01:00Slurp, in this heat you probably got more cans tod...Slurp, in this heat you probably got more cans today than most Sundays.Gone Back Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391620186388562057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-72324265126296641312008-05-11T16:27:00.000+01:002008-05-11T16:27:00.000+01:00David...... don't encourage him to drink any more!...David...... don't encourage him to drink any more!
