Iowa has a 5 cent deposit on cans and bottles. It is designed to decrease litter. To the end of decreasing litter it works but there are still plenty of people that would rather throw the nickel out the window. Sometimes I get in mood and decide to pick up cans on my walks.
I'm not sure why I start or why I stop but I begin picking up cans. I leave the bottles. I tell myself that I will collect enough to buy a beverage at Wrigley Field. Then suddenly I stop for no reason except I would hate my dogs to get away on account of 5 cents.
I've learned a little about Dallas County drinking habits...both alcoholic and non alcoholic. I see more Bud cans then any other but I find a wide variety of beer cans. When you find one Miller can you are likely to find 2 or 3 more very close. More folks throw out Mt. Dew cans than most other soda's.
Not sure how much money I have collected over the years but somewhere I have written it down. I am sure that, whether or not I collect enough money, I buy a beverage or two at Wrigley Field. Tri-Limb, Bullwinkle, Bean Counter and The Commissioner can attest to that.
