I'm all for Kid Sport and the like enabling lower income kids to participate, but I have zero interest in loading someone's Range Rover with $60 in bottles for their kid.
In contrast, I look forward to when some group comes along to collect my empties. I don't like doing it to raise money for my kids, because collecting bottles is quite terrible (been there done that). However, if a group says to their kids, "listen, if you want to go on a road trip for a tourney in Golden, I expect you to put in a days work collecting bottles to help pay for that", I think that's a great message to send youth.
