The they is the environmental lobbyists and the local governments. Legislation for "taxing" the individual bottles $.05, most states have some redemption value but the great state of NY doesn't allow you to return bottles on Sunday, and you may not be able to return a can or bottle to the redemption machine if the store who runs the machine doesn't sell that UPC/Product. They can also limit how many you redeem. What fun! So I say, fuck you I'm not recycling my bottles or cans.
NY city suspended their recycling program citing it was too expensive after 9/11 and it was suspended in July 2002 until March 2003. While it does cost to collect, that cost is offset by the recycling profit once it's sold back to the companies. The cities make a small windfall.
