Great idea about funding health care or schools, but why not a quarter? A nickel back then is worth a quarter today. In today's economy, there'd all be picked up instead of littered.

In Beaverton we can recycle clean, whole ones at the library and charities that distribute goods.

I totally support expanding the number of containers that have a return deposit.

And that deposit should be raised to 25 cents - so people think it's worth doing! Keep those toxic plastic bottles out of landfills where their chemicals seep into ground water.

Two summers ago, I bike toured through California. We saw pop cans and soda bottles littered everywhere. When I asked why they weren't being recycled, people told me that the grocery retailers had lobbied to have the recycling taken out of grocery stores, and it was too much trouble now. Maybe the homeless would do it.
