California Fines CVS For Not Redeeming Recycling Deposits

摘要

The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has announced a $3.6 million enforcement action against CVS Health Corp. for failing to meet its obligation to redeem Californians' deposits on recycled bottles and cans at stores throughout the state. CalRecycle says the action is part of the state's broader effort to support recycling and ensure consumers have access to convenient recycling options. State subsidies to recyclers have increased each of the last four years to cover the declining prices for recyclables, resulting in $176 million in payments to recyclers in 2018.
