I'm from Maine, and I remember in the 70's when Maine instituted a 5 cent deposit on the cans and 10 cents on the bottles. Back then, 5 cents was enough money that people would save up their cans and return them to the store the next time they went shopping. Now, with inflation, 5 cents is really not enough of an incentive. They need to up it to 25 cents per can if they are going to do it at all.
Here in Arlington, everyone has recycling bins, and it seems everyone uses them. It's easy.
