Pretty much, except for the one your mom kept to put the sprinkle top on to use when ironing the laundry. Some kid was willing to pick up any that were discarded.
Cleaning and sorting the bottle returns at the little store in town, so that the various bottlers could pick them up, was my first real paying job (at about 12), if you don't count occasional cash for working on a friends family farm,
