Bottle law hits Syracuse retailers raise hopes and costs
Store operators in Syracuse brace for New York state bottle law requiring 5 cent deposits on beer and soft drink containers. Over 16 weeks retailers will phase out nondepot stock and install deposit only bottles, cash registers, and dumpsters. Executives estimate up to $10,000 per store in equipment plus higher checkout prices and more labor for returns while shortages and delivery delays loom as August approaches.
