How do I get my $.60 deposit back? (in Manhattan)?

Question

Just went across the street to Duane Reade near Times Square.

I bought a 12-pack of Coke.

I noticed on the receipt that I paid a $.60 deposit.

So, when I'm done, should I bring the empty cans back to Duane Reade, or what?

If you have actually gotten a deposit back yourself in NYC, please tell me what you did. Thanks!

Answer 1

yea go back and bring the cans and the receipt back to Duane Reade, they would probably give it back either today or the next day....i had a similar situation, but with Dunkin Donuts in NYC...jus make sure to go back with a receipt, i lost mine but luckily they gave it back to me cuz i went back right away....Good Luck!

Answer 2

Take the cans/bottles to any SUPERMARKET Grestides/Food Emporium......There are machines that give refunds....

Good Luck for .60 cents it might not be worth the trip

Answer 3

I don't know about Manhattan but in Michigan they charge 10 cent deposit on pop or beer bottles and cans just take them back no big deal . Yours must be 5 cent deposit . I bet if you bring them hear you would get 10 cents out of them from the bottle machine

Answer 4

that is cool never heard of that. hope you get your money back!

Answer 5

find a redemption center.  I have spent a lot of time around times square and have no idea where you'd do that locally.  You could find a recyling center.  Outside of manhattan you usually find redemption centers in supermarkets or in conjuction with liquor stores.
