Maryland consumers would be charged a 5 cent refundable deposit on bottles and cans under a bill introduced in the House of Delegates.
House Bill 1085 would make Maryland the 10th state in the U.S. to charge a deposit.
Del. Maggie McIntosh, D-Baltimore, the bill’s primary sponsor, has lined up 16 co-sponsors for the bill. It is scheduled for a first reading Friday before the House Environmental Matters and Economic Matters committees. More
didn't we used to have this? a refundable deposit? Before plastic was shoved down our throats. Plastic we didn't ask for, that doesn't biodegrade, that we have to recycle?

Glass doesn't biodegrade either so this isn't a good argument.
When are we going to see dome bills reducing this absurd cycle of stupity....NO !!NO !no more fees taxes for the kids the bay illegals..welfare.. smokers bottle trash....cut something now ..start with ur alls paycheck you obvioulsy can't function in fiscal management
How much is this going to cost the vendor to whom we take our cans and bottles to for our refund? Does this eliminate recycling? I can see sometone taking 50 coke cans into the Giant for their 5 cent deposit on each one. Seems like a lot of work for someone and not worth the money. Of course the gov does not want you to reclaim your 5 cent deposit so they can have the money to waste.
If people would just recycle on their own we wouldn't need government making us do it. Recycling is the right thing to do...but look at the roadsides. People can't even use a trashcan (even with the threat of a fine if they get caught littering). It's sad.
Well she doesn't have to force gay marriage down our throats anymore.
