    We have that in Ontario, and as a kid my cub/scout troop would go around town and ask people to give us their empties as a fundraiser. We’d return them and use the money to buy camping supplies and stuff.

      Hey buddy! We never did this in scouts but that’s such a good idea. When I was in college my roommates and I could have used such a service. I actually just posted that there are people making a living off of combing the ditches and parks for empties. Bottle/can returns is a whole economy.
