Exporting bottles to a different US state
I think a reference to the seinfeld episode where kramer and neuman drive a truck full of bottles across state lines should be made 66.75.250.202
I've wondered how big a crime this is. That aspect should probably be added to the US portion of the article.

It's a real issue in the grocery store where i work because we get a lot of customers from New Hampshire which is next door and does not have redemption. Since this is the first store this company has done in Maine they are still working out the kinks.

It is actually illegal and things are being done to try and put people off, as this ABC news article says: http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2008/12/10/2442469.htm?site=southeastsa Wonx2150 (talk) 13:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Is anything being done to raise the deposit? None of the deposits have changed in the past 25 years... they should easily be a quarter or more by now. If they made it a dollar I'd bet every single bottle would be recycled.
South Australia increased it to 10c a year or to ago and thats boosted it a lot. Wonx2150 (talk) 13:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
South Australia : juices exempt ?
I am pretty sure juices are not covered by CDL here in SA, a juice producing State , where the growers/producers may resist price increases ! I will check ...Feroshki (talk) 02:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
I've got a 600mL PET juice bottle in front of me, and they are not exempt. You might be being mislead because it's only single-use sized bottles (eg, 600mL) which are subject to the CDL and not multiple-use bottles (such as 2L of milk and juice). 202.158.193.49 (talk) 05:27, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Inconsistency
" The popular demand for a deposit on aluminium cans to reduce littering in the nature led to legislation in 1984, possibly the world's earliest." - I'm guessing that this sentence refers to Sweden, as it's the subject of the immediately prior sentence - however, "possibly ..." is inaccurate as demonstrated by the years cited in the US section.
