10 Arrested in Michigan Redeemable Soda Can Con
Posted on September 28th, 2007 by The Big Fez
Michigan will give people 10 cents per recycled can. 10 cans = $1. Easy money, right? Easy to exploit? Yeah, but you probably should be careful.
A group of 10 were busted in a multi-state can smuggling ring that netted them around $500,000. That’s a lot of cans. A whole lot of cans and that’s probably how they got caught.
The best part is that the article references a Seinfeld episode where Newman and Kramer plan to take advantage of the 10 cent redemption.
