Deposits On Cans Is A Bad Idea
I think that the option of putting the can things into our local grocery store is too much of a hassle and we need more people to recycle them. We are practically giving out free money cause no one really uses them any more they are just a waste of space.

Food, beverages and many other articles are canned now a days in order to make them easy to carry and handy. But they are not too much of use as very few people are interested in purchasing cans paying an extra cost. Moreover due to the fact that the cans consume extra storage space, most of the grocery owners do not find it a very good idea to endorse canned products. The other problem with these is the additional cost and resource required to recycle the cans. Moreover chemicals are used as preservatives in order to keep food items fresh in a can, which is not really healthy. The cans are very commonly littered carelessly which noticeably ruin the aesthetic appeal of various public places. So usage of alternative glass containers and retort pouches is much recommended instead of using cans to save the storage space.

A deposit is the best incentive. As far as I am concerned, all containers should have a deposit. Wine bottles, cans, soda bottles, beer bottles, beer cans, etc...
Relying on people's goodwill to recycle is not enough.

When i was a kid, almost every drink came in a bottle that had a deposit on it, so you made sure it was returned, you never saw pop bottles littering the place
