If I live in Washington and go to Portland and purchase soda and pay a deposit.... that would be fraud to not redeem my deposit . You are getting money back that you have already paid. Hence, why it's called a deposit. The 10 cent deposit is to encourage people to recycle. Asking for ID and receipts is ridiculous.
Actually C Todd Davis that is completely untrue. If you buy pepsi products, more specifically cans, bought at a lot of places in Washington they do not have that and will go through the machine but not give any money. Asking people for receipts and treating them as horribly as you guys do is horrible and will be your down fall.
All redeemable beverage containers in the US - no matter what state they're purchased in - have the 5 and 10 cent note on them. This is a matter of ease for bottling and distribution and has nothing to do with the container having a deposit paid on it, so returning bottles purchased outside of Oregon without a deposit and collecting the 10 cent deposit is actually fraud.
Most containers that actually have a deposit have a slightly different bar code than non deposit containers. So the barcodes are deposit/state specific because most can/bottle redemptions are done by machines that read the code.
