Wish I lived closer to CT I could make even more money off the litter bugs. Do you have to prove you bought the beverage in CT to get the 10¢?
Nope. No proof needed.
People who had bags of bottles kept them until the new year, so they got the 10¢ even though the bottles had "cost" 5¢.
There is some talk about banning nips, but that will be a tough trip. Each town gets a nickel for each nip sold there, and the amount of money involved is stunning. The nip bottles are also quite a littering problem, despite the deposit fee.
From local news: "The grand total paid to cities and towns between Oct. 1, 2021 and Sept. 30, 2023 is $8,986,536.15." And that's at the 5¢ rate
Not exactly small change
