The Michigan Beverage Container Deposit Law (also called the Bottle Bill) was created in 1976 to reduce litter and encourage recycling. It requires a 10¢ deposit on certain beverage containers, which is refunded when the container is returned.
Treasury manages the financial side of the program. This includes collecting unredeemed deposits, issuing reimbursements, processing over-redemption claims, distributing funds to the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Bottle Bill Enforcement Fund, and submitting an annual report to the Legislature.
