Well, the homeless that are collecting the bottles are picking them from garbage cans and the side of the road and the like. So they are recycling other people's waste...shouldn't they be paid for it? If you agree with that then they need a place to take their spoils to exchange for money...a bottle depot perhaps?
Cash grab by who? If you had to pay a deposit that you couldn't get back then I could see your point. But I don't understand cash grab here.
As a previous poster said and I agree they should have deposits on other things like cigarette buts and paper cups. Then those things be picked up as well. The "work" is there the "workers" just need to be paid for it.
