Image: Container-deposit legislation in US and Canadian states

Description: SVG map of states, provinces and territories in the United States and Canada that have container-deposit legislation (CDL), also known as a container-deposit scheme (CDS). Beverage containers such as bottles and cans made out of glass, plastic or metal are charged a container deposit (or 'bottle bill') that can be refunded upon returning the container to the manufacturer, usually through a reverse vending machine. CDL seeks to minimise waste dumping and make recycling more efficient by rewarding consumers who return used beverage containers.   Container deposits on most bottles and cans   Container deposits only on beer/alcoholic beverage containers   Container deposits discontinued   No container deposits
