Overlooked in this discussion is the health issue of people making returns filling grocery carts with bottles and cans that are partially full of soda, beer, cigarette butts, urine and other contaminants.

Almost without exception the contaminated carts are immediately returned to service without being cleaned. This is a serious health issue so far being overlooked by health authorities and retail establishments.

Recycling centers would go a long way in eliminating the problem.
