I'm pretty sure that many of the cache maintainers reuse those empty  
plastic
bottles instead of throwing them in the trash.  That practice doesn't
help the eye-sore problem, but I think it is better than adding to the
local landfill.

I think the 'trash' that people are talking about is food wrappers and
such rather than the empty cache bottles.
