Abstract

This chapter of the Maine Revised Statutes concerns manufacturers, distributors and dealers of beverage containers. It intends to create incentives for the manufacturers, distributors, dealers and consumers of beverage containers to reuse or recycle beverage containers thereby removing the blight on the landscape caused by the disposal of these containers on the highways and lands of the State and reducing the increasing costs of litter collection and municipal solid waste disposal.
