Kinda is the same as moving low tax cigarettes into NY and dumping them for a nice profit.

Seems abusive to try this scam. No surprise to see charges.

I didn’t know bottle deposits were still around. They have deposits on plastic bottles?

Well, Bottle Man should certainly be sent to prison for his horrific bottle crimes. Too bad he didn’t spend his time setting up an illegal server in his basement instead. He would have gotten a complete pass on that.

If the true reason for Recycling is to save Energy and Natural Resources, why is this poor Soul being persecuted?

Is his name Neuman!

Back in the ‘60’s, in Detroit, where I grew up, there was a two cent deposit on glass bottles and a five cent deposit on large bottles. We used to scour the alleys and ask around at the body shops for bottles to return them and buy bags of candy. If you scored a five cent bottle, it would make your day.

Just re-read the article. The charge will likely fail as the law says attempting to return for deposit refunds and they charged him well before he attempted to turn them in. Seems the law sounds rather specific. Too bad attorney costs and all will get their pound of flesh out of him and serve as an example, but the non-lawyer me doesn’t see how he gets convicted or jailed. Expensive less that there are no get rich quick schemes.

Did I miss something? Would it have been too much trouble for the reporter to say what the rate is in Michigan? While the deposit rates are.listed for California, Maine and Vermont, I didn’t see the rate for Michigan.

When we put out our recycling bins, all the aluminum cans were gone in an hour. (!)

There is most definitely a flow of emtpy cans from northern Indiana going into Michigan. IIRC, the can deposit in MI is $.10, so a case of empty cans would net you $2.40. It's a buy 4 cases of beer, get one free program. Many of the can returns are automated machines. Some you put cans in one at a time. Some take bulk and refund be weight.

The program appears to work, you hardly ever see a can or bottle littering the roadways.

Buy 10 cases of cheap soda pop at $2 per case with your EBT card. Dump the pop down the drain. Return 240 cans @ 10¢ per can. You earn a gross of $24.00, with a $4 profit. (No tax on EBT purchases) That $24 will buy you a bottle of cheap liquor, two packs of smokes and enough left over to buy you and your sweetie dinner at McDonalds that evening.

Repeat tomorrow. Life is good.
