Perhaps if there were bottle/can deposits and return centers, less bottles and cans would be thrown in trash, not even recycled. You may want to ask a few states who do this what their success is.

Florida is way past the time to be taking this action to reduce waste. As a kid in another state I would collect discarded bottles and cans at the beach after weekend parties and return them for the deposit money. It was my only speeding money! So I benefited and other beach goers had a cleaner beach!
