I don’t know about Massachusetts, but in New York State, any money left over from bottle deposits that is not claimed goes to the state. There are always more deposits paid then redeemed. Just saying.

[MercyFlush]

Who are they kidding? This is just a tax when there’s no practical way to redeem the bottles for the deposit money.

I'm all for bottle and can deposits and would like to see them expand it to plastic water bottles too.

Prior to Michigan enacting the bottle and can deposits, the highways were littered with beer and pop cans. They disappeared once the deposits went into effect.

Where I play softball in the mornings, there are water bottles everywhere even tho there are garbage cans within 10 feet of each dugout. Pigs don't care, they just throw their trash on the ground and we end up picking them up and putting them in the trash cans.

May I invite our neighbors in Massachusetts to come visit tax free New Hampshire where there is no bottle deposit, no income tax, cheap liquor, menthol cigarettes too and you can hunt on Sundays.

Plus, CCW is mandatory. If you don't have a handgun you can get a loaner from any LEO. Return upon leaving the state.

I heard that New York City and Chicago were going to implement deposits for shell casings...the money will go to providing ammunition to parolees who are not able to afford to buy the the necessities for their trade.

Because we need the price of everything to rise more in MA.

Talk about Reps having a tin ear.

I will still throw them out in the trash.
