2 bucks for a can of Red Bull sounds right. Plus 10 cents for the can deposit. Edit: It looks to be somewhere in the states.

Can/bottle deposits is a roundabout way to encourage recycling. Turn in your empties & get a couple cents back. Then you get places that charge the deposit at checkout, so to get back to net zero you have to recycle.

The idea is that people who would be too lazy to recycle otherwise or just don't care can be convinced to recycle when there's money on the line. 10¢ a can builds up fast, and as a result ~90% of cans and bottles in Michigan end up recycled.

To build ln this, it's pretty drat successful, and can drives are a not insignificant source of fundraising revenue for like high school intramurals or whatever. Plus I'm pretty sure that everyone in MI has done at least one can hunt along the side of a road, picking up empties to return for a few bucks at some point in their life

Huge profits! They would need some sort of truck to move them. Maybe a mail truck? Do you know any unscrupulous mailmen?

You'd periodically hear news stories of someone trying to bring a bunch of cans from Indiana (no deposit) to Michigan. That really stopped working once the automated scanners became common. But even before that it usually ended in at least a fine for the perpetrators.

I can hear this entire scene in my head.  however it’s not from the bottle deposit episode, it’s from when Kramer adopts a highway.

oldmandon posted:What's the recyclable bag charge? Does that mean there's a plastic bag ban and this person is being charged 5 cents to use a bag made of heavier plastic? Or is it because they've gone the complete opposite route of a bag ban and are charging someone for using a reusable cloth bag?

Every supermarket here charges per plastic bag to discourage their usage and I assume that's just a very poorly worded plastic bag charge

it means they charged $0.05 for a plastic or paper bag. plastic and paper are recyclable. no one charges you to bring your own bag

They want people to use re-usable bags so there’s a 5 cent fee per lovely plastic bag that you throw out as soon as you get home.

The 5 cent bag fee is because we're running out of oil so they're raising money to squish some whales and make some more

And The type that has 500 of them stuffed in a drawer somewhere. Also if you’re using them as a garbage bag for your car, I assume you’re still throwing them out after.
