Questions & Answers

why cant you be decent people & take crv as you are required by law to do so. I feel your discriminating against us the public by not allowing us to redeeme our crv products. SO much for a decent recycling company who are refusing us the public

Discrimination is the treating of one class differently than another, discrimination is not treating the public different from...... non public? If they took crv from only white people that would indeed be discrimination. But because of a virus a business elects to avoid exposure to employees by no longer taking CRV from anyone is just a business decision and nothing to do with discrimination.
