报告摘要：

The California bottle and can deposit recycling system is unique in its use of a state fund to partially finance recycling centers and its requirement for supermarkets to have convenient recycling, a recycling center in the parking lot.  This paper reports on consumer`s views of convenience in recycling as well as on the likely effects of changing the deposit and the number of centers.
