Do you return your bottles and cans?
When I lived in the city I never returned them, now we totally do although not often enough! DH went last night and it was almost $20 worth! Mostly Diet Coke cans.

We have wrap every other week that picks the cans and bottles up.

Re: Do you return your bottles and cans?
We don't, b/c we live in a small apt. and have nowhere to store them. I wish we did, b/c we would get so much money back. I hate to think of all the money we have thrown away by not getting them back.

Re: Do you return your bottles and cans?
Whenever I see an empty can/bottle I put it in our bin so that we can return it, but my DH throws a lot of the cans in the regular garbage.
Usually about every 2 months or so I'll go and return what we had in our bin, but it's never too much, usually like $3 or less. I am sure that if my DH saved all the cans it would be much more.

Re: Do you return your bottles and cans?
Yes I do-I used to put them in a garbage bag outside and go everyone once in awhile but lately I've just been taking whatever we have each time I go to the grocery store..I went yesterday and it was over $3 it is such a waste to throw them out! Not to mention bad for the environment.

Re: Do you return your bottles and cans?
Long Island doesn't have curbside recycling, does it? I just realized that when you're all talking about throwing them out versus redeeming them. I don't redeem them, but I always recycle them. Recycling is mandatory in NYC. You can get fined for putting your bottles, cans, etc. in the regular trash.

Re: Do you return your bottles and cans?
We just leave them at the curb. Usually someone takes them before the truck comes for them!

Ditto-We recycle them.
We are too laz to return themy, and 90% of the time we don't have soda in the house anyway. The most we buy at one time is a 12 pack. I am a big Crystal Light drinker.

Re: Do you return your bottles and cans?
I make Dan do it because he drinks 95% of the canned soda in the house. And he drinks like a case a day! I am not kidding..... So he goes every other week and gets close to $10-$12 back in cans alone!

We really don't have any bottles, we don't drink soda, but we recycle everything with the town.

We don't, but we save them for my DH's Great uncle. When he gets enough $$ he buys savings bonds for his Great grandkids.

Re: Do you return your bottles and cans?
No, but we should because we fill one of these every other week with bottles & cans:
There's a guy who drives around our neighborhood the night before recycling pickup, so I try and make sure the can is out there for him when he comes through.

Re: Do you return your bottles and cans?
We redeem them - why not? Although DHs friend did make fun of us when he saw the bags of cans in the trunk of the car - he called us cheap!
