Bottles and cans all over campus (UNI) and when I went home the roadsides with littered with the same. But after the bill passed, the difference was like night and day.

I say let the grocers give up their redemption duties ... but only if they give up the profits from the beverages! You sell it, you help take care of the mess it creates!
