We don't - there's a homeless man that comes to our neighborhood on collection days so we put them out for him.

Re: Do you return bottles and cans at the grocery store/beer distributor/etc.?
It depends. When we went on vacation, we saved all the bottles and cans and gave the kids the money for their spending money.
Other times we will just recycle.

I do. I try and recycle as much as possible.
I have to be honest and say it bothers me when others don't. It isn't THAT hard to do.

Re: Do you return bottles and cans at the grocery store/beer distributor/etc.?
yup, we do. you pay a deposit every time you buy them so why not return them. it's a return on your money, and your' helping the environment.

Nope. There's a woman in the neighborhood who comes around and collects them. She always has a field day at our house after a party.

Just because people don't return them at the grocery store doesn't mean they're not recycling them. Our village picks up recycling every Wednesday, so we put them out then.

Re: Do you return bottles and cans at the grocery store/beer distributor/etc.?
No. We put them out with our recycling, which means there is usually someone who comes around & collects them out of the pail prior to the garbage collection.
& also because many times I purchase Coca-Cola cans from PA, where we don't pay the deposit.

ITA... we have a recycling pick up the same as regular garbage... it has nothing to do with returning them for money!

Re: Do you return bottles and cans at the grocery store/beer distributor/etc.?
Heck yea!
We either stack the reciepts and use them towards a shopping trip, or, get the cash and let it build up in our coin jar!
Now, that water bottles are deposited, you better believe we "cash" them in!

Re: Do you return bottles and cans at the grocery store/beer distributor/etc.?
We collected them all and then DH takes the kids once a month to do it. The kids split the money and they get to put it in their piggy banks.
DH and I drink a lot of soda in cans, so there are many cans to bring back, I would hate to lose the money I can get back easily.

Yes - we do. In Brooklyn, we use the machines at Waldbaums but they are often packed...so we only go when we have a ton to return.
