I wish they'd charge a 25cent deposit for every plastic bottle sold.

Bottled water at sam's club is 15 cents per bottle. You are not
supposed to refill the disposable bottles, due to sanitation concerns.
If you carry a refillable bottle you have to hang on to it.

We have a better system here. I go to the local grocery store and pay 65
cents for a 4 liter refill of city tap water run through a reverse
osmosis/filtering and ultra-violet light process machine. Tastes much
better than any mineral water.

I don't refill the thin plastic ones from water, but we save gatoraid
and other thicker bottles and use them. We go through a lot of water
at the track, and we also fill a bunch with water and powdered
gatoraide or similar too. We have RO filters in both houses, and well
water too so we don't really pay anything for our refills to speak
of..

I wouldn't expect them to refill the bottles, just recycle the plastic. A lot
fewer people would buy water in plastic bottles, and a lot fewer of those
plastic bottles would be polluting our rivers, lakes, ditches, lawns, etc.

Littering is not the same issue as bottled water. Pigs are pigs.

We have curb side recycling but they burn the plastic and paper in the
waste to energy incinerator. That is a lot more efficient than
trucking it 1500 miles to a recycling plant. Somebody complained and
they are going to start sorting and trucking. It will cost us about
$300,000 a year for this "saving"

Here in Montgomery County we can't give away our recycliing.

I think a hefty deposit on the plastic bottles would reduce the number of pigs,
and maybe entice some kids to pick up bottles. That's how I bought Cokes when I
was a kid.

As to the 'complainer', well, you just can't cure stupid.

It's outlawed in Halifax Municipal offices & meetings.
Province has been talking about the same thing.
