When you receive an Earthware container from your food provider, you are charged a deposit and a Processing Fee totalling 30¢ for the container with the lid. You will get a minimum of 5¢ per container and per lid for your deposit refund.
10¢ per lid & per container goes to the bottle depot for the “Processing Fee” (named as such instead of “Recycling Fee”, because Earthware containers are reused not recycled. See more information regarding refunds.
