New York to crack down on bottle deposit fraud
The Citizen staff Oct 25, 2023 Updated Nov 30, 2023
Officials in New York are cracking down on bottle deposit fraud they say costs the state millions of dollars each year.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation this week announced a statewide multi-agency effort to help prevent returnable container schemes that defraud the state. This new effort will help uncover practices that prevent bottles and cans without deposits from being redeemed.
