Ten cents works much better than HI5, but would be bad for Hawaii. At five cents, more people just chuck thier bottles and cans into the trash, it amazing how many I see going into the dumpster. At ten cents more people would be motivated to return them and cut down on the state's massive $$$$$$ intake. State of Hawaii don't want folks to return thier bottles and cans...another invisible tax on us. The return percentage in Michigan is 95% in Michigan.......much higher than Hawaii's 70ish%. On top of that it would virtually double the amount of money that homeless folks affected by substance abuse would have to spend on drugs and alcohol. There's a good SA article on the problematic Hawaii program at
