Which in July 31. -- some but oddly enough money a Republican. Amendment decided to one. What a five cent deposit. On on on all bottled waters and iced teas and other kinds of drinks as you know. Right now the only deposit in not Massachusetts is on not. Carbonated beverages and a beer which is carbonated as well so soft drinks and beer. -- And so now what's going to the house doesn't look like it's going anywhere in the house Bob -- the speaker. Has said no new taxes this year on in in Massachusetts because of the terrible economy and god bless him for that cotton blossom. I don't care I don't care is dots on his stuff.

Should the state impose a five cent -- on bottled water. Absolutely not it's only seventy percents -- really that'll go up as the day goes on as people think about us again as as we talk about this before. This this is not about cleaning up the sidewalks. And the roadways of the commonwealth. This is about the fact that the V. Government of the state thinks. That that it's going to collect 22 million dollars worth of unclaimed nickel deposits 22 million bucks. This is this -- attacks I don't care you can say yeah you know.

And he said forget it but I just find that that. You know this is one of those this is one of those things that they they just won't give up they keep pushing and pushing it pushing every year it's like the you don't like the -- well you know first the big push the seatbelt law than it was just going to be a secondary enforcement they couldn't stop Perot. Not have a seat belt now I think they chemist they can stop you for having seatbelt Metallica. Doing away with the cell phone doing away with by hand held cell phones you know there's a certain that this certain things that the moon bats. Never give up you know they dated date at the feet. Is is not permanent you know once they win though that is -- again it's settled law as we as we -- on gay marriage. 101 last thing here before we before we get to the bottle bill. Did you mumble is is ahead of the pack here on chick filet the jobless. Usually usually you know Mayor Bloomberg announces something released group. And -- says press conference to say meat to. In this case -- Was that the it was in -- for going after chick -- for first you know -- for being anti gay marriage even though you know does every little evidence that they are in the game -- And now some wins in Chicago Alderman.

On the northwest side. -- great just what just what Chicago needs you know they get it 234 people might being killed. In the in shootings and a that they don't want any they don't wanna you don't wanna open up a -- -- again it provides some jobs. Not to mention some good group of people. Well thanks mayor mayor mayor mumbled you should be very proud yourself that you started this new stampede of idiocy. 187746943220. -- your next without cart or hatteras. Now part of how Hollywood may have supported the bottle bill he's always had curbside recycling. And there are really no -- Tuesday apple bottled bella well because of curbside recycling. And I'm second I have I get my money back and most of these are written machine. I don't want -- you're right about that that was our relief felt the machine due you know you -- -- hour after you go into liquor store -- supermarket to return. I think I. Are. -- an article about all -- -- roster Chris by the clean you with the clean the machines. But it broke down it was disgusting. I thought that I thought the only guys imposed a clean the machines when the -- -- ultimate sometime Jose and -- on the ones who was being called I report broken machine. The electorate to put an aluminum beer -- -- aluminum one of those bottles in the -- into the -- machine and broken or hatteras. Well but like now if they claim and a chilly up Agilent in the but I haven't been him. As you know when the Stop & -- and apparently you like about gently is that you know that's not from my our my my -- -- -- anyway all the appointment machine -- bus Stop & Shop not a war. I would -- for dramatic about the bottle for all local or outlook on merit and put somebody in that amount but. I picked them up to the service thing and I say the machines are all not working and they say excuse me. Jose took -- bottle area Jose into the bottle area and then they give me money for rougher the bottles they take -- they put him back behind the counter. Did that and that's the way it works at your supermarket. I I did that want to make bluntly as that why I should be watching -- -- Our ability of great things. I get all these I drink it right now -- a can of diet doctor Brown's the original cream soda. Saw that I can't be there it's the the supermarket I go to doesn't sell that but I get -- for Michael's or for Barry's village deli. And so I have to go to a liquor store to set to wanted to blow up. You know to recycle them. And -- but liquor store I go to is here in Brighton. And there are these new new Americans in the city who just for prowl around and they have like hundreds and hundreds of beer cans are especially on Monday morning. After the you know after the frat parties all in Alston -- And you know god forbid I got like you know -- ten doctor brown diet cream sodas to return and I get behind one of these people. It would take me all afternoon waiting for the get rid of their bottles. Yeah there -- us. It's a it. But tell you what though I would rather just sit there and watch those watch those newcomers to warily and put bottle after bottle after he hand after plastic container in the air and wait form rather than just. Rather than just throw at the -- away and give Deval Patrick an extra fifty cents anything I will not give the -- after an extra cents. That's why it and that's why that's why take chris' what would you do crucified if I wasn't around -- horrible way what did you. Yeah. Think all right trash -- even though even though you don't make. I hate this I hate to put in the -- term you'll make nearly as much money -- me know I'd -- -- sector vacancy through -- can away. -- what the hell is wrong with -- -- auditing and -- cycling the IRY do you want a little bit resting lightly and crummy all Stan. I guess now out like on. These -- the adults. That the ball is counting he's equally at ease and he thinks that -- even realize that somebody is say if this knew that if this new ball gold goes to build -- notes are termite beer bottles. You don't yeah. What's the difference. I don't know. You couldn't return your your Coke bottle your soft drink bottles at the same place you return your beer bottles you understand that right -- regular -- -- Okay yeah that's right you don't -- drink too many beer bottles -- entry to meet your round here so you don't have not around here yeah. One -- you bring the beer bottles and I'll be glad to return them to four. A -- next with how we cargo ahead Bruce. I don't know I. What you've -- Iran and saying what I have to buy truck get credit goes. To pay an extra fifteen. -- what's gone excused B Bruce it's gone up to fifteen cents that hasn't. Being sent online the only good amount of demanding at least an elephant in the shop and say. They got that out that called white. And what they do it -- hard and -- you bite you give you. Put the ball on the can -- -- stick around you take into the store Deanna and -- like an ATM machine. When you -- -- money. So we just deluge and you cut and a country other payment shall. What about what how do you get your bag back. If you'd get up again you throw that ball out of 0:0 I am. All of which there so they can't get up there hit yup for the how much about eggs. Right. It doesn't. Want something like that it's like I can't expect it to blow them anyway at -- We don't why when you get one for my hand efforts are stellar show causes but it's just -- -- if I am not a bad idea but anyway. Lived in Portland I -- -- by those him bags from the city of Portland that was another well off. Well paper fracture that was so brilliant. Mike said he wanted to do that. And don't honestly it may 27. My -- -- re. Gonna it was gonna cost -- and it can expect. Right exactly. A lot of thanks Bruce over the city tells in the unit -- -- break let me just grab your wallet and run the other way. They're from this they're from city hall and they're here to help Leo right 18774694322. -- your next with how -- cargo ahead Jeff. Yeah I went out with my kids to pick up trash around the city. And there was zero water bottles on the ground however. Sports aspect of net site like this start with nips and in doing it. You know what Jeff where where do you live by the way. You you know you have come up with a really good idea IE if if if I were in the legislature I would say you know what you're gonna -- -- I'm gonna introduces an amendment and we're gonna have vote we're gonna have -- return to your right naps are every bleeping place in the in in any any any city. Like Springfield or Boston or start your. Feel water bottle here -- -- bottles are everywhere I'd like to get rid of those. Right and the thing is still that they they're the most problematic used to be glass and some of Marshall last but most problem or plastic right. So -- just throw him out and they just get crushed and so they're they're just they're just -- and what the hell is gonna pick up. Crushed nip and that William by inept that he means it's the smallest. Form of alcohol container there is -- just like one shot and legal. Had a client tell that will pick them up if it's over the -- return on them. Yeah that's right because all they would be they would be twenty there would be like the old bottles you know in Maine and what rankles you do you do you drink when he wrangles. And then you could take the twenty bottles in and get another five pack another five -- angles in this case you get twenty he'd get twenty. Twenty net nips and then you could you bring -- the store and you have another map right. -- -- Exactly how it. Thanks Jeff does -- costs most -- cost about the ninety -- 18774694322. Larry your next with -- Kart -- that Larry. They captive audience. You know he had touched on this some surprise or maybe more of it that would have been eight to ten million dollars worth of not returned bottles that money goes back -- the state to sell the number. Know that number is 22 and then number I've been reading recently as 22 million. A 122 million -- Well just just think it's bad at all these other bottles sort how much more at stake will be bringing -- you think these guys could be behind like you're. But -- but see the thing is that the big big grocery stores are -- a big contributors to them and that the grocery stores and liquor stores don't want anything to do witness for obvious reasons. -- I would do yeah and I mean the -- and the other thing Larry is where does it stop I mean -- Your next bringing you next put a deposit on the juice containers -- the little kids have. While only at the state wants more money. -- Bob by 18774694322. Off my idea. My family you know state they have pieces they have certain green proclivities not that they're not serious but sometimes they -- they decide to go green. They started buying these these glass. Bottles old fashioned glass bottles of milk. At at the local -- hippie food store whole foods and only god the the you know you put those things outside. And you know within to a three days if there's like even a little bit and even a little bit milk left in the bottom. It turns its all green -- lead just horrible and then it starts stinking. We went back to the heal her regular. Milk containers you know -- Mike your next with how we cargo ahead Mike. Yeah I can't -- -- -- this when I mean. It ain't broke don't picture we just don't let me go -- Brought it might. Every limb today. I don't want. And do you. There was no rule. Every time I need you. That you put up -- sign in five different languages. Say -- saying that we don't -- we don't have any return from a bottle that maybe you need about seven in lol languages how many how many times do you think you need at all. I mean if you can't. -- Out. Well probably didn't know we have Greg Greg trash pick out you know you're happy he's likely to be like -- and that's it. I mean you don't need a bottle bill. It's just argued that the company's system what you are brought when it comes and what we need to do we -- -- bit sick. I just don't think it's so bad right now Mike I mean you know not not every places like lol the city of Boston where they were a year or overrun with immigrants who decided that this is going to be the way they support themselves. You now. Mean there are a lot of places in the state where where there would be more there won't be more roadside trash if you -- if you get away with a bottle bail. A roadside trash -- on a -- bags and get bottled. -- -- Mike I've watched them pull pull apart the bags I've watched him throw on that a blog that a Boston Common. You don't just just just emptying the you know with two hands -- -- an odd but they're they're. But. Dempsey dumpster fibers but they're not looking for -- -- for those bottles I know exactly what you mean. I'm just saying that it's you know in the in the -- in the outlying areas it's going to be bad. And if you if you why don't it don't have returned double beer and and so the key and it's believed to Motley went out. Course they Roma the -- a lot as it is I will grant you that. They -- and thanks for the call. 18774694322. On our car. 18774694322. My staff is a deadly you're a real life. -- round of applause here after their their discussion of what they do with -- the return of bottles here in Massachusetts. Five a weighed on the -- like mortgage text line says how we I can see you hire your staff from the overflow of the society of Mensa international. To a seven I didn't know 1% class person return bottles have you -- run and the grainy Warren returning her bottles. Don't know how many bottles any -- must have that one bottle but she can't return -- -- for -- cheese shop. But we know she doesn't return the ball from fathers' day yet because Bruce hasn't figured out how to get the bottle cap off. Let's see when I used to work in New Hampshire the bar codes were the same I'd return the cans the Massachusetts. It's day. How we your beautiful person if you buy whole foods anything -- my kids sometimes go to whole foods like I take them there just to keep used to Charlotte mopped the wonderful -- stuff.

Green wine bottles. -- beer bottles are -- -- it's I mean they got like eighteen different places that you could return to its its like going to some Spanish Pinehurst but you know -- He's the something that's what. -- -- column about this it's like a slow it's like social and only it's you don't that I have been the whole you know. Madonna's around you have these little areas where you put in your trash and you're taking a yet. You're you're making a yes 88 the tribute to the pain in the tribute to the earth -- -- that's ridiculous I don't -- I didn't look let's just those just stop at word is -- just leave it the way it is thanks for -- -- oh yeah. 1877469432218774694322. How much of this regal balls that's a good point. Not a Massachusetts you don't have to return to ship a street ball. And you know after -- that.

Ruthie got on beer Indiana Obama why why wouldn't you have -- on. Distilled spirits. Mike you're next with how we cargo had Mike. -- you do that return unsure as bottles a couple of -- a budget from the swimmer. I know they would never cut the police pensions and Palm Beach I know that if if that's how we got to collect the issue of us the pot or deposits. The other thing like for action returning -- -- bottles. They're cheap apartment and she's tried in Karachi and in the machine -- nickel that was -- yet are equitable and -- it. You don't you don't always used to joke about you know the worst the worst call ball popped in yet is disturbance in the men's room. You know. Chris correct me if I'm wrong but the worst call anyone can get in the supermarket is Jose there's a problem in the bottle return area. Oh via oh I don't -- I. Or -- likely to return of those machines and -- and noble ones out critiquing it down there in the U infected written. You know god knows what herpes or else. Well Chris was saying that you are usually try to impede my containers you know just the just you know just as a basic. Thing to do but mostly a lot of people ultimately like an -- in the -- so you know you eat your crush up. You crush up a thousand of these -- each have announced them and you have to pull up the bag and there's all this there's all this crummy dad soda in there. Social did you pull out the back to the -- what happens -- The -- destroyed in the it's articles everywhere -- The bag breaks and the -- goes everywhere and that is it and then as it's dries out it becomes sticky. Andy at -- end that we can put your feet your feet get in the soles of your -- gets. To the to the floor. Right. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Again at some point you. -- -- -- -- -- -- So -- -- -- -- in the market you Eddie Martin IDs you know I got that I get the the bottles because it's easy it's easy place to go from where I am it's a liquor store. And and then you know eyesight -- board a cruise the parking lot first slowly go by. In a -- one of those old one of Mosul but Chinese guys coming -- If he's got like troll who shopping carts from the weekend party bring frat parties and Alston -- And I see him if he if he beats me in there I know I'm done for the day IKEA I -- I can't do what I gotta I gotta come back after work. 18774694322. -- you're next with how we cargo ahead that he. Ali good afternoon the first Massachusetts residents for -- unquote any radio TV show a -- in this nation of Bobble. The syntax that talk about the deposits on the print and on a bottle just for -- Excuse. Is that five cents to -- that talk about that can be print on the -- loans and deposits -- at all. No it'll it'll be printed -- that the pod they'll say deposit. Okay what I would call I think these out of state manufacturers. -- when you look at the label our boxes -- California is such as did not think the Massachusetts. I it would get me in the bottom of the week cycle of our own situation -- what and that they should pay the penalty five cents to bother to make. But my feeling. Well -- the that what the state know they were. Well I guess they're not getting back the money or you're not getting back the money but the state is ultimately getting back the money the state doesn't care if they get -- back from the Butler or from the consumer right all they want to get them all they want to do was get money they wanna grab the money just look at in my bottom mighty. My doctor Brown's diet -- right now Maine Massachusetts. Oregon Vermont New York. Can at a cat. Michigan -- it's California cash refund that I don't know what that means like California that's supposedly -- the states and have the bottle bill right now the way you'll you'll what was the number bought states with a bottle bill has not increased -- about 1015 years. It's the same states the same Odyssey moon bats states just about. Thanks for the call I didn't I just a one on there. Maybe that shipment you know outside of Iowa and a bottle bill. But maybe it maybe they just don't -- doctor -- I'll add your next with how we cargo at that. I kept is that it goes about the nips you on the right track record and a more deposits. Used tires used threats that. Cultures. Cigarette filters. The -- Harmon will be very little for the children. I I in my right. -- I think about as far as I wanna go is that net bottles I think the net bottles would be a good idea but other than that I know I don't think so. But what your other callers on the machine two that more Allred the model to promote -- under the most of TriBeCa it was fourteen -- wants. You know it is you sort of went to my deck and what's your local black had a market instead of machine until you know what you -- start full floor and the governor. But thanks to a call at 18774694322. Ramallah car. Do. -- didn't do. 18774694322. Yes some Maine does heavy they deposit launch of this -- bottles of -- raw alcohol -- liquors -- A Hornaday visited Nippon paper at the -- is there is there is there in the fifteen cent deposit on net. That's that's that's. Distilled spirits right. 18774694322774. How about those losing scratch tickets that the losers just throw on the ground right next to the trash barrel. Yeah I I know people suggested that but one what amassed that would be for the stores like I couldn't. I couldn't I couldn't lay that on the -- myself I wouldn't -- -- to vote no I in the legislature. To a seventh. How we we have deposits on everything in Maine except things that moron like milk milk. We have we have fifteen to the -- when we did what it was -- do you let it just stand out there and gets moldy and I'm --
