Why doesn't NH have a bottle return deposit? I just realized that many other states do this.

I cant answer the original posters question, but I will say I'm happy NH doesn't have this. Its just another tax/inconvenience that I would have to pay or an inconvenience of having to returning my bottles. My town has recycling pick-up so I still recycle and I don't have to waste my time in a stinky refund center with a bunch of bums trying to collect my 3$ in beer can money.

Plus, having to pay for recycling pick-up in my property tax, having a deposit on cans/bottles will just double up on taxing the same thing.

It's just an extra level of tax and bureaucracy that we don't need in New Hampshire.

If the primary goal is to reduce littering, well we get that already from people picking up bottles and cans along the roadside and smuggling them into MA to unlawfully collect the refund.

Cause there's still some sense left in the NH public.

I don't think cans purchased in NH work if you try and return them in MA actually. I have already gone that route
