Some states and provinces do have levies on plastic bottles. Aluminum is easily recyclable while plastic is not. A plastic bottle can only use 10% recycled plastic and maintain its integrity. Aluminum however is one of the easiest materials to recycle and is therefore an ideal substance to re-use. A levy on plastic, in my opinion, would be great in all areas. However the fluctuating commodity prices and its limited use in recycling makes it less ideal to be the target of a tax. In Ireland there is a 15 cent tax on plastic bags which has really changed the way people get their groceries from the shops to their kitchens.

Can Nestle plastic water bottles be turned in to a recycling plant for cash?

Within Alberta, the ABCRC refunds your bottle deposit based on the size of the container, not the material it is made out of. Other states and provinces may follow a similar guideline. Regardless, the bottle is still plastic, just a different form of it. If you paid a deposit when you bought the water, you should be able to reclaim that deposit at the recycling depot.
