When you buy your returnable bottles and cans at the grocery store, they are clean and full. When you return them to a redemption center, they should be clean and empty. Simple concept.

To subject other human beings to your laziness and lack of common courtesy is a shame. The tobacco products, maggots, dead varmints, ants, bees, grass and other nasty debris need to be not included.

Please think about this the next time you gather up your returnables.
