Beverage deposit redemption to end
5-cent beverage container deposit in Delaware ended in December but consumers have until January 31 to redeem any bottles or containers they paid the deposit on. The change is part of recycling improvements through the state's new Universal Recycling Law overseen by DNREC. Included in the law is a new 4 cent recycling fee for containers that carried the 5-cent deposit. The temporary fee will fund a recycling grant and low interest loan program to expand recycling in Delaware.
