bottle and can deposit

Democratic lawmakers have sponsored bills to expand Michigan’s 10 cent returnable can and bottle law.

Michigan was a U.S. leader in bottle and can redemption in 2019, with a nearly 90 percent return rate. That rated dropped to 73 percent in 2020, after the state temporarily banned bottle deposit returns in response to COVID. Proponents and critics of the bottle law say changes might be needed.
