[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 460908, member: 21536"] In Calif out of $100 million in CRV deposits collected, $46 million goes towards "administration" of the program, meaning a state bureaucracy that isn't very effective or productive. Additionally, the millions going to "consultant" type folks is astounding. In Calif, the amount of bottles actually being recycled continues to decline, meaning more going to the landfill. Not too hard to see that the system is not working too well. BTW, the bottle deposit in California is not a "deposit". It is legally defined as a "regulatory fee". Why you might ask? Well, because you can't charge sales tax for a deposit but you sure can for a regulatory fee. The whole thing is a bunch of fairy tale hooey in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
