Good golly......why not have a New Hampshire nickel deposit on cans and bottles just like most every other state? That would probably help to keep all the cans and bottles out of the transfer stations and purchasers wold happily return them to retail stores, like super markets , which sells them. The Massachusets super markets all have can return vending machines located in their entry vestibule area which take in cans, and give out store credits.

Plus, it would probably help to eliminate the can and bottle roadside litter. Down in Boston, it seems like they have a squadron of down & out homeless types who patrol the back alleys, investigating the trash bags on trash day, while looking for returnables just for the nickel/can.

Can collecting: not just a nickel job, more like a nickel career! .... .
