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.
Not all across Canada. Different provinces = different rules … ie: Manitoba has zero recycling for wine and liquor bottles (except for blue bin recycling).
Wow. This has been a thing in Canada for as long as I can remember. And I am, for Lemmy, damn near antediluvian.

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

Just another reason to never live in Winnipeg
Well, til!
That’s wild, I wonder why not/if it’s a conservative thing somehow?
