better yet. people are working on it. let me start with this. if you were old enough to return bottles in the 1980s, you remember there weren't many recycling centers. you took the empty bottles back to the store where you bought them. convenience is not a new idea. your grandparents had milk delivered to their doorsteps. kids on bikes threw newspapers on driveways. when a coke was bought, it was returned to the same store for the nickel deposit. the milkman is gone, grub hub brings nutrition to your door. newspapers still get delivered but to our computer screens. getting your deposit back, that is an entirely different story. when is the last time you returned a container to get the $.05 deposit? >> my grandmother when was a child. i'm originally from chicago. she passed when i was probably about 15 or so. that's probably facility to get. yeah. >> most of us forgo the hassle
