bottle deposit
Recyclable container fee
A bottle deposit is a small fee charged when purchasing beverages in certain containers, refunded when the empty container is returned for recycling.
The system incentivizes recycling and reduces litter: I returned the cans to get my bottle deposit back.
States and countries with deposit laws typically charge five to ten cents per container.
