Reply to comment by ARaoulVermonter in Hartford Redemption struggles to keep employees in what owner fears is a dying trade by DaddyBobMN

So when I buy a 12 pack of coke it adds 3 dollars on? Have you seen how much they sell a 12 pack of coke for lately.

The refund is supposed to be an incentive to have people return their empties. That would certainly provide an incentive (and maybe have people drink less soda).

Deposit/redemption is a great program for hard to recycle materials. Aluminum cans are one of the easiest materials to collect, separate, and recycle. Glass is another story. If we could collect ALL glass beverage containers and separate them by color, it would be a huge win for the redemption system.

You'd get it back when you return the cans. It would be like paying 5 cents a can in 1972, accounting for inflation.

😂 Companies can’t have this happen. Then people would eventually realize that they’ve been getting fucked for years now with wages not going up as much as everything else has around them all these years.

You get all that money back though when you return the cans.

That's literally the point, to get people to return the empties to get their money back.
