aluminum can crusher
Years ago I made a bracket to hold my can crusher when I had a travel trailer. It hung on the A Frame behind the tongue jack....now I have a 5th wheel and am looking for a place to use it once again...

I’ve lived in Oregon my whole life. We had the first bottle bill in the country and I know what it does and how it works. Your wording made it sound like a fortune generator with all this money you “get” when you return your cans. You don’t “get” money, you get your own money back. The system got to earn the interest on it. However little for you it adds up for them.
As a kid, I scoured the ditches and collected money for other people’s waste. Now I do the opposite and just give my cans to needy people as it’s now worth handling the mess or dealing with the filth at the bottle return centers.
Does it cut down on litter? I’m not so sure in our state as we have curbside recycling cans that are larger than our garbage cans. It’d be so much easier to toss them in there if not for the fact that they have a deposit that is lost. All of our boxes, soup cans and milk jugs go in there so why not aluminum cans.
