CRV Recycling Software for Michigan

Michigan runs the nation's highest container deposit — 10¢ — under the 1976 Bottle Bill. WeighPay CRV reconciles 10¢ redemptions against distributor pickups so unredeemed-deposit accounting stays audit-clean.

Michigan Regulation & Compliance Notes

Michigan's Beverage Container Deposit Law (Initiated Law 1 of 1976, MCL 445.571 et seq.) sets a 10¢ deposit on carbonated and select beverage containers — the highest in the country — and routes unredeemed deposits to the state. Dealers and redemption centers must reconcile returned-container counts and weights against distributor pickups, and reverse-vending or hand-count totals must tie out to deposit payouts. WeighPay CRV maintains per-material 10¢ deposit counts, reconciles inbound redemptions against outbound distributor manifests, and produces the reconciliation trail EGLE and the Michigan Department of Treasury expect during a deposit-program audit.

How WeighPay CRV for CRV Centers connects your operation

Customer arrives → per-material CRV rate table (aluminum, glass, PET, HDPE, bimetal) prices the redemption automatically — average transaction under 60 seconds
Transaction closes → ID, photo, and material count are captured in one step; fraud-pattern alerts surface anomalies before payout
Inbound redemptions reconcile against outbound shipments automatically — weight discrepancies are flagged, not discovered at audit time
Reporting period ends → state container-deposit / bottle-bill report generates from transaction data already in the system
Settlement is clean — no manual spreadsheet reconciliation between counts, weights, deposits, and handling fees
