We have had deposits on beverage cans since the mid 70's in Michigan. The idea was to make it too expensive to litter. The amount of crap along the road did diminish greatly. As time has gone by the value of the dime has gone down so the law isn't as effective as it once was.
One example; a friend goes for walks in his rural area. He takes an onion bag along and picks up whatever pop/beer cans he sees along the way. He takes his wife on a trip/cruise every winter paid for with deposit returns. That is a lot of money thrown in the ditches.
