The state I live in is the only state in Australia that gives a 10 cent refund on cans.

When we were kids, we used to go to AFL games and collect cans. The depot was round the corner from where I lived. You'd walk in with your bag (an afternoon's collecting and $20 worth if you the Aussie rules game had been particularly well attended) and they'd count it manually. That particular can depot has been demolished and very expensive town houses have taken its place.

Yes, some states here have a deposit on cans and bottles. If I had waited a month, I could have taken them to MA with me, and gotten about $190 for them.
