Just ran up to my local AutoZone to get some 134a. $19.99 wasn't to bad. What's up with this $10.00 per can Deposit? I was kind'a shocked to say the least.:thumbsdown

Is the deposit refundable?
They've had this kinda dealio in Germany for 30 years.
Even the box parts come in have deposits.
Chances are Cali is going that route.

The bottles are reusable you get your deposit back when you return the bottle

the state realizes that a large number of the cans will never be redeemed. At this point it becomes a 50% tax! suckers

I think you only have 90 days to use and get the deposit back

I just bought a can and said WTF with the $10 core charge? Happen to be out in Havasu the next weekend and bought another one.....No core charge in AZ.
