plastic not glass

I've contacted someone in community relations to ask them how other communities have handled some of these issues. But of course dealing with a large corporation is like dealing with a brick wall. Some ideas I've had include replacing the single serving beers with plastic bottles instead of glass bottles, relocating trash cans so they are near property exits, better lighting etc. But I have yet to hear back from anyone. I wonder how these business get away with selling beer that they know people are going to be drinking right outside their doors?
