Bring back/Introduce the deposit on glass and plastic bottles and cans....
....and address, potentially, three issues in one fell swoop;
1.Reduced rubbish to be cleared at Rates payers' expense;
2. Re-cycling plant work reduced (as already sorted into 'types')
3. 'Employ' young people/destitutes as an alternative to getting into mischief.
This 'program' kept me and my mates busy when we were young and strapped for cash...
And get the 'environmentally aware/friendly' drinks-manufacturers to subsidise the program (deposits and staff wages).

They can tell everything about the blood 'doner'
From his Ethnicity to the colour of his shoes.
Yet container deposit is just far too difficult - Gimme a break!
Let's just do it!!!!!
