Talk:Container deposit legislation in the United States

Deposits prior to legislation

edit

While the Oregon legislation may be the first legal mandate, bottle deposits existed long before. In the 1950s there was a few cents deposit collected on soft drink bottles in various places; as kids we often collected abandoned bottles to turn in and make money. I am not sure if this was mandated by local laws or just by the stores or bottlers. It would be interesting to include information on the history of deposits.Wschart (talk) 17:34, 25 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

A May 1973 photograph of beverage cans marked "Minimum 5 Cent Deposit in Oregon", evidence that the cans were manufactured after the passage of the Oregon Bottle Bill.[citation needed]

I removed this image. It may be of use but with a different caption. Another editor wanted a citation for it. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 08:30, 22 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
