how come when you buy beer you get charged a CRV (CA redemption value or other _____ redemption value) of $.05 but when you try to get that back at a recycler you get like $.000001 what gives :hsdunno:

 

I bring it to bottle return and would get the value of it..

 

In MA, anything carbonated costs $.05, and you get it back when you go to a redemption center.

 

you have to go to a place with the machine and then you get the full amount. If you go to a distributor they give you like a cent and they keep the other 4.

 

no machines in CA :wtc:

 

what?

i've never heard of such a thing in PA.

 

in michigan we have a 10 cent deposit on every can/bottle/etc so we save all our cans and take them back to the sto.

 

Cus its not in PA. If you ever look at the bottle it says that 5 cents and where at.

 

i stopped returning my cans and bottles..

im gonna start again, im running out of beer money

 

They had a problem in IL for a while with kids stealing copper from construction sites, copper values went up recently for some reason. It's alot of work though you have to first get away with the copper, then skin the rubber coating off the wire, then, haul it to a walmart parking lot collector guy...
Not like like i would know or anything. :rick:
