CRI opposes SF2378, “An Act relating to the redemption of and payment of refund value on beverage containers, making appropriations, providing penalties, and including effective date provisions.” – March 24, 2022

This bill would remove retail stores’ (“dealers’”) obligations to refund consumers’ 5¢ beverage container deposits after July 1, 2023. In other words, consumers would no longer be able to conveniently turn in their beverage containers at one of the 2,000 retailers where they are sold.
