Is it true that in Australia that beer cans and bottles require no deposit and are tossed everywhere?

Question

Sort of like dog p**p everywhere?

Answer 1

I don't know about the deposit, but while traveling in OZ I saw very little litter.

Answer 2

compared to some so-called sophisticated countries, particularly in Europe, Australia is a pretty clean place and recycling is everywhere.  you obviously haven't been here, so I guess we can excuse your ignorance.

Answer 3

Why would they be tossed everywhere, exactly?  Are you presuming that people in Australia aren't taught to pick up after themselves?

I live in a part of the U.S. where we don't have deposits on cans or bottles. . . we got rid of that 10 or so years ago. . . and they're usually in the trash or recycling here, too.  People aren't inherently messy so much so that they always need monetary rewards to make sure at least *someone* is picking up all the trash on the streets.

Answer 4

No it's not true. In South Australia you get a deposit. But Australia is clean anyway!!!

Answer 5

It's not just Oz.It's the same in European countries 'cept we're tidy.

Answer 6

What???  You have to be kidding! (Well actually you're not about the deposit, unless you live in South Oz, in which case there's a 5cent dep), but, why don't you have another can yourself!

Answer 7

they sure are litter bugs ain't they..

imagine all that dog p**p.... smelly, specially when it rains

Answer 8

get a life sicco
