I consider that with regards to pollution, this is a waste of time.
In restaurants and steak houses, they are collected with glasses from the tables. Just looking at the photo attached to the story online says it all. Plastic bottles are a major problem. Just look along the beaches and on road verges and gutters. Plastic bottles are discarded everywhere.
Selling water in plastic bottles has also greatly added to this problem. It is understood that in some countries there is a (small) deposit on plastic bottles. This is a good idea as it would then become worthwhile for people (including vagrants?) to collect them for a cash return.
