Local Solution to Bottle Recycling?

I've long thought that there is a local solution to the bottles that don't have a deposit on them. Perhaps a local logo (an art contest?)on the bottles (tequila, wine, big plasticos,)which alerts people to the fact that they can be recycled. We would need the support of the local liquor store as they would have to charge the deposit and refund it. I think going to the school could create a momentum, especially if we ask the kids to brainstorm solutions. Parents learn from their children. If it comes from the roots there are a lot of spin-offs. A friend of mine in Marin County had a group of kids called "Intergalactic can gatherers of the galaxy". They made enough money to come to Expo 86 in Vancouver. I am keen to volunteer when I come down in November.
