Abstract
In December 1978, Michigan's bottle bill, requiring redeemable deposits on containers of packaged beer and carbonated soft drinks, was launched amidst diverse predictions of restoration and ruin. The anticipated scenario involved a sizeable reduction in beverage-related litter and an extensive changeover from oneway beverage containers to a returnables system using refillable bottles. The resulting savings in the cost of containers were expected to offset the increased money distribution costs, leaving an uncertain balance between the added consumer inconvenience costs and the reduced litter
