- NedIsakoff 7y agoDepending on where you live. I live in Canada and my region you don’t get all your deposit back.
- FabHK 7y agoThen it's not a deposit.
- NedIsakoff 7y agoThe government calls it a deposit. The law that collects it and refunds it refers to it as a deposit. The charge on my receipt says deposit. The refund I get back is called deposit refund. Except when I buy a can of Cola I pay 10 cents deposit. When I return it I get 5 cents deposit refund.
- jjeaff 7y agoIn CA they charge a bottle fee for plastic water bottles. If you can return those for a refund, I am unaware of it.
