I don't think that would work.

I've thought about this when I see bottles and other crap strewn on the streets or in parks.

Then I see a garbage can nearby that's been tipped over by someone, or an animal, or the wind.

A cigarette butt or bottle on the ground doesn't mean the person who bought it and used it tossed it on the ground. It could mean they put it in the designated garbage and someone came along and strew garbage everywhere.

German citizens who bring back Plastic bottles to supermarkets receive 0,25 € for each one. Fields are pristine needless to say
Meanwhile in The Netherlands, the homeless dig through trashcans for their €0.15 bottle deposit and leave all the trash next on the ground.
