Deposits on cans got introduced a few months ago in this country to eliminate littering.
The result?
Trash bins are ripped open in search for cans with a deposit on them, causing more littering.
@StroomAfwaarts Had read about it in the news. It's especially problematic in Amsterdam at the moment.

I don't want to lecture on the points of capitalism and socialism, but I'll still react with an "... Obviously."

Maybe this depends on where you live?
My colleague picks up roadside trash in his village, and he notices 90% less trash on the bike routes to and from the highschool.
I can imagine that homeless folks in a city will try to collect cans for money for food and a bed at the night shelter.
