Basically, different states have different deposits. Some have no deposit at all. Michigan has a large one, maybe the highest of them all, ten cents a bottle. So the idea is...well you get the basic idea.
You can only turn in a bottle that is labelled for return. The label implies that you paid a deposit and are thus entitled to some cash. But the soda bottlers can't be bothered with the overhead of labelling and inventory control of 50 different types of bottles. So they sorta try, to various degrees of offhandedness, to get bottles generally labelled for deposit states and non-deposit states. As far as I know they're not required to by law to do any of this, so it's a haphazard thing.
Bottom line is, without any illegal or quasi-legal action you might very easily be able to get the deposit-labelled bottles in states where you don't pay a deposit, or a lesser one.
Of course the real money is in making your own labels and re-labelling blanks! :shuriken:
