New Jersey S3391 establishes a deposit and refund system for returnable beverage containers to promote reuse and proper disposal.

The New Jersey S3391, known as the "Beverage Container Deposit Act," mandates the use of returnable beverage containers in the state and sets up a deposit and refund system. This system requires distributors to place a $0.10 refundable deposit on each filled beverage container sold in New Jersey. Dealers must then charge consumers the same deposit when selling filled returnable containers for off-site consumption. Consumers can redeem the deposit by returning the empty container to the dealer or distributor. Distributors must collect and refund these deposits within seven business days.
