Can someone who lives out of state redeem bottle deposits in Michigan?

Question

I live in KS and have barrels of pop cans and bottles ready to recycle. Thinking if Michigan really pays 10 cents each, it might be worth a road trip. Can I do this and where would I go for a large quantity redemption? Is it okay that the cans are crushed?

Answer 1

Bottles and cans from Michigan are clearly marked as such. I doubt you would get away w/it.

Answer 2

Michigan only pays for cans and bottles that are stamped with  mi and 10 cents.  We have machines also that crush them, and the machines reject the ones that aren't stamped correctly.
