Oregon Bottle Deposit System Hits 90 Percent Redemption Rate
There is fear that some significant portion of the recent increase in redemption rate may be due to fraud.  Oregon recently increased the redemption from 5 cents to 10 cents, but the neighboring state of Washington still does not have a deposit.  This creates an incentive for people to scavenge bottles in Washington and return them across the border in Oregon.Here's a recent article about the problem: "Oregon senator to introduce bill to thwart return of bottles, cans bought in Washington: She says grocery stores ‘drowning’ in out-of-state containers"https://www.columbian.com/news/2018/dec/04/oregon-senator-to...Has anyone seen more exact numbers that would either support or refute this?
