If people got a couple of quid back for expended bulbs then that would
do far more to encourage true recycling. I remember the days when
you'd get money back on beer bottles. I imagined I could become a
millionaire from returning my empties but they stopped all that. :-(

As kids we used to supplement our pocket money by returning 'deposit'
bottles. Very effective - we would scour the neighbourhood to ensure no
bottle escaped. Don't know why they don't do it now.


I can vaguely remember getting 3d for each empty Corona bottle. Was that
right?
