I'm glad that the 10-cent bottle deposit has finally been invoked, although it should have been done many years ago. One might think that those who earn money by working hard to collect discarded bottles and cans, would improve their incomes from this increase. But it might be the opposite, as many who have paid the deposit, might not toss them out nearly as often, but return them for the doubled amount, themselves. If so, the bottle bill would be serving its purpose of effectively reducing litter. 

But even with a 10-cent deposit, this sum would not equal the inflation rate, over the 36-year span since the bottle bill was enacted. A deposit of 20-cents would not be unreasonable. Let those who would pay this higher deposit complain, but if they do the right thing and don't toss out the containers, they wouldn't lose a penny.  If the retailers had to handle a higher volume of returns, that would be from fewer that were sitting as litter in the environment.
