I am baffled as to why the province is insisting on continuing with the archaic deposit/return system for alcohol containers. It's literally a make-work project. Scrap the deposit system and put alcohol containers in the blue bin like every other similar container.

Because reusing (avg 16 times per bottle from quick search) compared to non-seperated crush and recycle might be better for us the end user? I'm sure someone out there must have done a birth to death study of reuse vs recycle. AFAIK, the bottle return system is a net positive for the beer and wine industry vs having to buy new bottles for every unit sold.
