Who drinks out of cans? Bottles go in the trash out of spite, since Coralville doesn't think it is worth collecting them any longer.
Iowa's Nickel Deposit Poll

I prefer pop in cans over plastic bottles. Fountain is preferred over cans though
There is no option for fill with urine and throw out the window on I-80. Elitist poll.
i typically recycle or throw them away.
On the rare occasion when I take them to them dumb machines, they either have lines waiting to use them or the fill up and spit a receipt out as soon as i start feeding them. And then if you take it to Wal Mart, they don't accept all bottles (just bottles from things they sell?). Typically i end up leaving what i brought in bags on the floor. some poor usually ends up grabbing them because the bags are gone by the time i get what i went to the store for in the first place.
Not worth the time or effort for the hassle of dealing with those damn machines.

that has to be one of the saddest things I have read..but makes your corporate overlords happy
People recycle. The world has changed since this time inefficient ,now obsolete law went into place.
Then why do I find 50 nickels in the trash each week without essentially any effort?
Ummm, do you have proof everyone recycles and don't just litter?
Until there is near 100% recycling I say we should expand the law.
"Digging" is just not accurate as to what I do. I look in. If I see a recyclable (nickel or otherwise) and it looks clean, I pull it out.
Not helping save resources for fear what others will think is pitiful. How about, instead, being an example of what really matters?
Why is it that we can get 50,000 cans of beer to the Kinnick area on a Saturday but can't get most of them home?
I see a lot leftover in Kinnick parking lot on the following Monday, and that's after the Sunday clean up crew.
Used to have a can shed box in college, save up the money several times and host a party.
Now, I just toss em.

No I don't have proof everyone recycles nor did I make that claim. Does anyone have proof that Iowa's roadsides are cleaner than other states?
I'd say grubbing through others' refuse is a form of effort.
Anecdotal evidence that they are cleaner than states without such laws.

Shouldn't Michigan be ranked higher

It is. Just very, very little. The point being that, to those saying recycling rates are so much better now than when the bottle law was enacted, I say maybe, but still plenty going in the trash, if I can find so many so easily.
Should add "fast food" to the list of items needing a deposit law.
If you wish to question this, then I suggest you consider volunteering for roadside cleanup!
