Why am I getting screwed on the deposit I pay on recyclable bottles (soft drink, liquor, etc) when I return them for my refund? I should have the choice to use my refundable deposit to contribute to any programs etcetera, or ITS A TAX.
National companies who can access your information from another province, but cant take a CASH PAYMENT on the account they access-even thought there are cash registers in the store and cash says right on it: Legal tender. WTF!! —Underpaid, overtaxed, underinformed & toobroke to be fed up

What?
The deposit on the bottle is not a tax. You pay tax on the beverage, yes, the deposit is a different charge and is refunded to you when you recycle it.
Everything after that…I have no idea. What companies? What does that have to do with recycling bottles? Who can’t take a cash payment despite having cash registers? What the fuck are you talking about?
I let the fucktards in my neighborhood pull up in their SUVs and steal mine on recycling day. There’s no funnier sight than some rich dude digging for recycling pennies.
Looks like someone was banging Adderall with their heroin . WTF does any of this mean?
Crackhead.
Haven’t you learned that the government can spend your money better than you can so in reality they are doing you a favour by taking more of it.
I wasn’t going to say anything, but you guys look pretty confused.
What OP was talking about is how you pay X amount for a deposit, then the recycling depot takes a cut out of your deposit. So long as the bottle depot is your only option to refunding your deposit, then you are getting screwed/ taxed.
Holy shit, leave them at your curb. Is a bit of change really worth the hassle if you’re already that worked up?
You only get half your deposit back, so yes it is a tax. But that tax is used to pay for our recycling system… so seems like a good thing.
Why not dig some bottles out of public garbage cans, OB? I see bums doing it all the time. You get 5 cents for each one AAND you didn’t even have to pay the 10 cent deposit.
