Things definitely are not as bad as they were before the bottle bill (or hell even when I was a little kid). That said I will note that I do see any increase in road side litter when I head out to my parents house in rural Sandy.

The end of the road they live on has been a notorious hang out for high schoolers for decades, though it has gotten better over the years. When I was a kid, we would take a walk down to the creek ~1/2 a mile and come back with $2-$5 worth of nickel and dime deposit bottles every few months.

I suspect, as GnG travels quite a bit, that he sees this in the more rural parts of the state. If not I'll let him answer.
