    Wow. This has been a thing in Canada for as long as I can remember. And I am, for Lemmy, damn near antediluvian.

      We’ve had it in California for forever as well (hello fellow old person!) but it was only for aluminum soda/beer/sparkling water cans, plastic soda bottles and glass beer bottles. This measure is adding wine bottles, pouches and boxes, liquor bottles and juice jugs.

        Knowing you’re a fellow old makes your username that much better, I now love it.

        Thanks for the clarification, that makes sense. I’m unsure how long we’ve been able to recycle those here. I’d assume for always but be not entirely surprised were that not the case.

        In Canada, if it’s ‘ready to drink’ you can get the deposit back. So no coffee creamers or concentrated stock for example.

      Not all across Canada. Different provinces = different rules … ie: Manitoba has zero recycling for wine and liquor bottles (except for blue bin recycling).
