Wow. This has been a thing in Canada for as long as I can remember. And I am, for Lemmy, damn near antediluvian.
We've had it in California for forever as well (hello fellow old person!) but it was only for aluminum soda/beer/sparkling water cans, plastic soda bottles and glass beer bottles. This measure is adding wine bottles, pouches and boxes, liquor bottles and juice jugs.
Knowing you're a fellow old makes your username that much better, I now love it.
Thanks for the clarification, that makes sense. I'm unsure how long we've been able to recycle those here. I'd assume for always but be not entirely surprised were that not the case.
Not all across Canada. Different provinces = different rules ... ie: Manitoba has zero recycling for wine and liquor bottles (except for blue bin recycling).
Well, til!
That's wild, I wonder why not/if it's a conservative thing somehow?
The NDP has won most provincial elections in Manitoba for the last 50 years, I would be surprised if the conservatives were able to block it here but not elsewhere.
That's wild, I only really notice Manitoba during federal elections where, as far as I recall, conservatives have generally won. Any idea why the two differ? Or am I completely out to lunch?
Back in the day Saskabush and Manitoba were traditionally NDP, because they're both farm-based economies and the NDP developed out of the CCF.
In the 80's both provinces started a swing to the right so PC's became the provincial alternate.
Right, I completely forgot the NDP origin story! Thank you!

You're confusing Canadian politics with USA
