Grocers resist Vermont bottle ban plan says grocers oppose deposit system
Ronald Goldberg of the Vermont Retail Grocers Association disputed Rep. Sam Lloyd and said grocers at Mendon opposed the bottle ban. He urged a 1975 push for recycling and anti litter laws with shoppers paying only if they choose. The association argues the ban costs Vermont more than it cleans highways and seeks freedom of choice on deposits.
