Containers must carry a valid Vermont deposit label and be reasonably clean and intact. The address on record with the Vermont DEC is 22 River Road, Beecher Falls, VT 05902 (the 204 Main St, Canaan address that sometimes appears could not be confirmed from any official source).

How much will I get back per container?
