Will recycling machines accept water bottles?

Question

i live in oregon, and heard that they don't. is it true?

Answer 1

Wow, I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and we have to pay a $10.00 deposit on the large water bottles that go on the water coolers and when you return it you get a full refund....for the little water bottles we pay 10 cents deposit and we get back 5 cents wen we return it.

Answer 2

Bicycles do accept them. and you can reuse them for years. No need to recycle each time you empty them.

Answer 3

Answer 4

It's true. I work at a grocery store. Oregon only charges a deposit for carbonated beverages this includes soda,beer, and carbonated water. The machines are refunding that dep. so they won't take water bottles even just to recycle. I throw mine in my curbside recycle bin.

Answer 5

every State is different , if you mean to put them in the recycling machine to get money well only if you paid a deposit on the bottle will you get any money back no deposit no money( most States only on carbonated beverages do you get money)
