The deposit law does not cover bottled water, iced tea, and juice containers and those thrown out the windows stay on the highway until there is an organized litter pickup which may take years.
Don't know how a previous poster determined that too many of the litterers are narcissistic drug abusing youngsters with dirty habits.
In Massachusetts, the bottle law also does not cover water, iced tea, juice, etc. bottles. An extension to these bottle types is introduced each year in the legislature, and each year it is squished by a handful of powerful reps. I have no idea why they are so dead-set against it. Makes no sense to me.
