So I took cans and bottles back yesterday. With PICS!

After one party weekend (Thu-Sat) at our house in college we ended up with about $220 in returnables. Pretty close to what you had considering that was in Michigan ($0.10 on all cans/bottles)

I hate to tell you, but usually, states charge extra for the bottles when you make the purchase. The money back on trading recyclebles in is kind of like a "refund." The only way to make money off the process is to trade in a bunch of bottles/cans that you didn't buy. That way, you would come out ahead.

Back to the post ...

PBR huh? I don't recall that being such a good beer. I remember drinking Schmidt before which was also kind of nasty. We called the effect from it the Schmidt Sh!ts

You should have driven to Michigan a la Sienfeld.

here in MI all you do is take them to a grocery store, run them through a scanning machine, collect a receipt, and cash out. The only places I have ever seen put a limit on how many cans/bottles you can bring back are gas stations and liquor stores.

I have no comment on that question

that's about what, 970 bottles, or 500 bottles and 940 cans (assuming .10 for bottles and .05 for cans)

That's a crapload of beer...

Bottles and cans are both $0.05 in Oregon

:Q

Only $0.05/container?? you guys get ripped off... crap... so it's was 1940 bottles/cans.... jaysus.....

good times...
