The largest bottle and can recycling operation in the formerly great state of Californai, rePlanet, shut down its entire operation Monday, closing down 284 locations and sacking 750 workers.
The crashing value of the product and the increased minimum wage and insurance requirements was cited as the cause.
In 2018 residents of the state paid out about $1.5 billion in deposits on cans and bottles. About 50% of this was redeemed.
