Stores with under 2,000 sq ft devoted to the display of merchandise are exempted. Grocers and other retailers that do redeem beverage containers will be paid a generous handling fee per container to cover the cost of taking back, handling, and storing bottles and cans. 3/4

The industry has never been able to prove that a bottle bill has increased beverage prices in any state or country. In fact, container redemption programs put money back into our local communities through employment opportunities as "canners," at grocers & redemption centers. 2/4
