We've had a waste incinerating facility sewing the state, because it didn't keep their end of they deal in providing the agreed volume to burn/year. And there are still problems with recycling being more expensive than burning, and producing the new product from raw materials. Resulting in our garbage being sent to China in the recent past to be processed there and to Poland right now, where it sometimes meets the "garbage maffia". ^

Recycling does cost money, and with everybody helping out a bit it's being made cheaper. The real question is: how can we change the behavior of our citizens, to not only want to recycle more, but actually doing it as well :D
Ow and do we tackle smaller bottles thrown on the streets with pfand as well ?

Lol, okey.. you've got about 6 months to talk about anything EU related, before getting a similar response :D

china is already refusing to take any more of our garbage iirc ^^

cant say i like interfering with the market, but when we look at the pollution with plastic especially, we are approaching a point where recycling needs to become mandatory and tough laws punishing illegal dumping of trash
god, that picture is just horrible, what a mess

Creepy, in Germany?
Idk. I’ve been all over and everything is always clean and orderly.

Not for long. African and Middle East invaders will turn your country into a mess in 2 or 3 decades from now. Keeping streets clean and recycling will be the less of your problems by then. Dont believe me now. You dont have to. You will live it when it happens. You will probably not remember this post by then. Doesnt matter. It will happen. Thanks to Merkel, Germany and western europe is gone.

Japan does something similar because they simply don't have the land available to create landfills. The United States is a land of excess. Excess land excess money and it's going to take something pretty bad before we abandon that mentality.

Just allow uncontrolled immigration, so they and their children and grandchildren can then vote for your beloved socialists in power, so then the prosperity in your country will slowly decay and in 5 decades become a third world country, where the only excess will be corruption, inflation, massive crime like never experienced before, poverty, child prostitution and misery.

You will reply "oh but we got that already"... you have no idea how bad it can get you spoiled first world kid who has no idea of the real world.

Because it’s difficult to place limitations on where refund marked cans get distributed and sold.
So states that are close, like Ohio, get these refund marked cans but do NOT charge a deposit because they don’t offer a refund.
People will travel from out of state with truck loads of refund marked cans, not having paid any deposit, and getting a return anyhow.

Michigan has tried to crack down on this but it still costs them $10-13M annually.

How does the state lose out though? Where is the link in the chain where the state participates financially?

I thought it was just a cycle where the material and money changed hands (i.e. Pepsi -> retail -> consumer -> bottle depot -> Pepsi)
