You get 10-20 cents for cans, 10 cents for bottles, 20 cents for plastic bottles and 40 cents for "hard" plastic bottles.

Damn, I remember my parents being able to take bottles back when I was like 5 years old. Wish I could've cashed in on that in my beer-drinking days.

In the USA its a pain. 5 cents for a lot of trouble. if the store didn't sell that brand they won't take it. waiting behind homeless/alcoholics who have hundreds of bottles. recycling machines are often broken or full. as a matter of fact this just happened at the supermarket. i just left the shit for someone else instead of dragging it back to my place and make another trip to waste more of my time.
lol (below)
in canada they have to take the bottles no matter where they were sold as a matter of law.

Cartons?
WTF? Like wine in a box or smaller tetra-pak style juice boxes for kids?
Don't be too upset though BTG - it was only Labatt Blue
nah, I think the 600mL take-away flavoured milk cartons carry a deposit (flavoured milk is big business here). I'm not sure though, I tend not to buy that size.
The 2L cartons of the same drinks or fruit juices don't have a deposit though, so maybe the small cartons don't, can't remember for sure now.
