In California they have CRV, which is a kinda significant recycling amount.

However it doesn’t stop people throwing away plastic stuff. What it _does_ do, is create a job for the army of homeless people to go around collecting bottles so they can claim that sweet cashback.

It’s effectively a very strange way of employing people at far below minimum wage to keep the streets clean. Very odd.
