When you get done with the bottle/can you can take it back to any grocery store that has that brand and there is a bottle return center that you feed the cans into. If they a crushed or in a way that the machine cannot read the bar code you lose the deposit and cannot get it back. You gotta keep the cans in somewhat good shape to avoid this.
Its rare to see cans at the scrapyards here because you get 10 cents a pop if you just go back to the store.
This applies to Cans, glass and plastic bottles.
