Bottle and cans need to be able to be returned to the store of purchase. Trying to find a place to recycle is impossible, and when you do are few and far and in between.  WhenI visited my sister in Amherst NY all the supermarkets had self serv kiosks to return all bottles and cans.  The state purposely makes it hard to return bottles and cans so they can keep the deposits we pay.  It makes more sense to return the bottles and cans  to where you purchased them, heck , we did it that way 60 years ago when I was a kid.  Doing this will lessen the burden on any landfill.
