How about a BOTTLELOTTERY?
A person recycling bottles and cans could have the option of taking the 5 cent per can in cash (the present system) or applying that refund money to a lottery ticket. The "CANDO" and other recycling machines at stores could be modified to give this option and print tickets that would scan for the refund or lottery ticket. Oregonians have established behaviors in recycling and in playing the lottery. Why not combine them to increase recycling and perhaps get more funding for schools, environment etc.?
