I'm not sure that I would entirely agree.
When I lived in Kenora ON (pop. 10,000), we had curbside recycling as far back 1991.
When I lived in Lethbridge AB (pop. 80,000) as recently as 2005, we'd have to pack our backpacks full of recycling trash every weekend and catch the bus to one of a few recycling depots (I only knew of 2).
I also don't think having to return empties to the Beer Store is a big deal. There are Beer Stores everywhere and it cuts out the middle man and saves energy that way.
