If you were forced to place a deposit on a car you bought and at the end of your cars life relinquish control of said car getting nothing only so someone else can make money off of the scrap...isn't this the same thing on a larger scale?
Im not bothered by returning my cans, it's the fact that others are making money at my expense..."Specimen" following your logic why aren't deposits placed on items that really damage the enviroment, or atleast things they don't profit on.
 
Your mistake here is assuming that you relinquish control by force. You have the choice between getting your money back from a recycling center or putting it in the recycling for the city to pick up.

The only point here you are required to recycle. They don't care how.
 
How is it theft? Putting a deposit on beverage containers gives people an incentive to return them. if there was no reward, why would anyone bother sorting them out from garbage or not just chuck them on the streets?

if people can't be bothered to return their cans, then that's their problem. everyone is given the same opportunity to collect their deposit.
