Reply to comment by thesbaine in New Connecticut laws for 2023: new truck tax, a pay raise for legislators and bottle deposit expansion by tottergeek

Don't know what part of the state you're in. But I would save my cans until I had a bunch then go to an actual redemption center. Dump them in a counter and be out in like 5 min.

Don't bother with going to a grocery store or whatever where you have to hand feed the cans

Nearest one is a 35 minute drive. I'd have to save a ton of cans to make it remotely worth it. Maybe once they bump to 10 cents it'll be better, but it's not a good option for me.

I used to fill 55 gallon bags. I could get three of them to fit in my car, would pull like $60.

Of course, that was back when i used to work in an office and it was like 10 minutes from there so i would just go on lunch break or something.

Not sure where you are, but those places are super uncommon these days

Yeah, I’m south of Hartford and the only one I can remember existing was in a sketchy neighborhood on Slater Rd in New Britain where you’d generally be accosted by people looking for booze and / or drug money before you even got out of the car

The best one I went to, i believe, was in South Windsor.

I think there's on in Vernon, that one wasn't to bad either.
