In short:
Damian Gordon has bought a house using savings earned from recycling bottles and cans.
Each eligible bottle or can recycled at a Return and Earn depository results in a 10-cent refund.
What’s next?
Mr Gordon says he will continue to return cans and bottles to help pay off his mortgage
Of all the things you can be angry to corporations, bottle and can recycling is the wrong one.
No it’s not. It shouldn’t be up to the consumer to recycle their products. They are shifting blame onto the people
As a person who lives in country where bottle recycling works i disagree. Also it should not be the corporations who makes the rules, but the goverment.
Every store needs to accept every bottle and can and the system needs to be uniform between all the companies. Last year from all the sold bottles and cans 97% were returned to bottle recycler system, not because corporations shifted their responcibility to consumers, but because the goverment has ordered the companies to make recycling efficient, easy and worthwhile for the consumer.
The corporation cannot walk up to you and handhold you into recycling it. That is absolutely an individual responsibility.
