Every Bottle Counts

Redeeming your deposit containers at the grocery store means more than just the 10-cent deposit. For every 12-pack of aluminum cans redeemed, we reduce CO2 emissions by 1.8 pounds – saving enough energy to power a US home for 3.5 hours. It’s a difference you can see: since 1978, the Michigan deposit law has resulted in 50% less litter across the state! By returning your containers, you’re helping contribute to a more sustainable Michigan because the aluminum, plastic, and glass can be reused.
