  This should help stop some pollution of the oceans, used to have this for glass bottles when I was a kid.

  I hate to think of the logistics needed. I can't see the supermarkets being very happy!

  When I was a kid my trike had a boot, so I used to make a bob or two taking bottles back. Nowadays I'd think big and simply whip them from the factory that makes them!

  I read elsewhere that reverse vending machines could be brought in so no extra work for shops and supermarkets.
