Needs another option: Saves bottles for garbage pickers to pick up

Neck and neck! This is epic.

Please let me have some insight in the glorious recycling system of the US.
Don't you have mandatory refunds for plastics and small glass bottles?
Or is it that you can get the refund for i.e. the scrap metal ?
Recycling... HOW DOES IT WORK!?!?!

There's about 8-10 states that have a deposit on things like beer/soda bottles/cans. In most of them it's 5 cents but I think it's 10 cents in 1 or 2.

I also just realized I selected the wrong poll option. I live in MO now which has no refunds, so those bottles and cans just go in with the regular recycling.

Oh, here you go: http://www.bottlebill.org/legislation/usa.htm

Clearly "I save/store/collect bottles or cans for a $ refund", otherwise I'd lose up to 36 cent per bottle.

@luxury_pie: as if the usa would give a damn about the environment...

I was wondering where this poll ended up, I could not find it.

Hmm no option for donating them to all the cool young kids that come to your door for fundraising.

Lets just say I like beer, and the kids faces when they take a truck load is priceless.

Voting for this poll ended in a tie between I save/store/collect bottles or cans for a $ refund and I just recycle them for no $.

When was this poll posted? I just saw it now. Let me be the tie breaker... I save the bottles and cans so I can get my sweet five cent redemption per can/bottle.

The upside to this is that people know I do this and give me their bottles and cans so I can redeem it for the money too.

Siftbot is a Sticky bitch for slippery slopes. It has spoken.

** and I just now only seen the poll after discarding my post about youtube. That's why I said above I had lost the poll in the ether, I have no clue why it was not in sift talk for most to see, It was however on the side panel on the front page, that's how I found it.

Me too -- WTF? I know I've checked sift talk at least a few times in the last few days. @dag, @lucky760, wha happened?

Weird. Hard to know what happened now that it's showing up as it's supposed to.

Hmm almost sounds like someone threw a wrench into the VideoSift gears. I wonder who would've done such a thing...

This new poll doesn't seem to be viewable on the sifttalk page either. http://videosift.com/poll/What-do-you-think-of-DeFacto-Avatar-Day >> ^lucky760:

Thanks for linking. All fixed!

I always try to put my empty cans into a separate plastic bag on the side of the dumpster for the homeless to collect.
