\"\"<\/a>Currently, ten states have some form of bottle bill on their books that require deposits on certain aluminum and glass beverage containers that can be returned later for a refund. In addition to my home state of California, the other states that have bottle redemption laws on the books are: Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Vermont.<\/p>\n

I’ve already explained why I hate bottle redemption fees<\/a>. Here are ten of the biggest reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When it comes right down to it, they do little to help the environment.<\/strong> That’s because bottles are a very small portion of the so-called waste stream.<\/li>\n
  2. Depending on where you live, deposits are not fully reimbursed.<\/strong> In California, for example, distribution center reimbursements are determined via weight — and that total is usually far less than the actual deposits.<\/li>\n
  3. The bottle redemption fee model is inefficient.<\/strong> It’s more expensive than other recycling solutions, like the now-ubiquitous and highly-successful curbside pick-up programs.<\/li>\n
  4. Bottle redemption fees are inconvenient to redeem.<\/strong> In order to get my money back, I’m forced to store my empties until I’ve accumulated enough to hopefully make the drive to a recycling center worthwhile, which is why:<\/li>\n
  5. I never get a single penny of the fees refunded to me.<\/strong> That’s because, when it comes right down to it, the hassle I must endure to redeem the deposits isn’t worth it. Ironically, it’s also environmentally counterproductive because:<\/li>\n
  6. Those who do end up reclaiming their deposits are creating new environmental burdens.<\/strong> Driving to those redemption centers increases fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. That’s especially infuriating when you consider:<\/li>\n
  7. Curbside recycling programs have been shown to be more effective.<\/strong> Delaware finally repealed its law in 2009 after recognizing that three neighboring states had higher recycling rates despite the lack of bottle redemption fees.<\/li>\n
  8. Bottle redemption fees are thinly disguised efforts to keep state coffers filled. <\/strong>In fact, they act as a regressive tax on consumers.<\/li>\n
  9. Bottle redemption fees are thinly disguised efforts to keep state coffers filled (Part II).<\/strong> If not, why did California lawmakers decide to make the fees subject to sales tax? Add it all up and the only logical conclusion is:<\/li>\n
  10. Bottle redemption fees have clearly outlived their usefulness. <\/strong>Which is why it’s time for them to go out with the rest of the trash.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hey, I’m not sayin’. I’m just sayin’.
