You
might be interested in a system for collecting, processing
and
recycling beverage containers that is paid for by industry
(producers and consumers of the beverages). It's called
a
deposit system and it operates much like the system
the
beverage industry set up more than 100 years ago to
distribute
beer
and soft drinks in refillable glass bottles. Like the
original
'deposit/return' system, consumers pay a 'refundable'
deposit
on
their beverage containers. When they return the
container
to the
store (or redemption center) their deposit (usually a
nickel, but in one US state, Michigan, it's a dime) the
deposit
is
refunded.
