Beverage distributors pay into a fund used to reimburse consumers who redeem containers that have been <em>purchased in California.<\/em> Unscrupulous individuals defraud California taxpayers when they smuggle in and redeem comparable containers that were purchased outside California. Because no fee was paid into the California system for those containers, they don\u2019t qualify for reimbursement. The difficulty, of course, is that the containers are virtually indistinguishable once they make it into the state and into the recycling stream. And that is where CDFA\u2019s border agents come in.<\/p>\n<p>This past summer the two agencies conducted a pilot project at all 16 of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/plant\/pe\/ExteriorExclusion\/borders.html\">CDFA&#8217;s border inspection stations<\/a>, and here\u2019s what they found:\u00a0 From June to August, 3,588 vehicles were identified as importing out-of-state beverage containers. 528 of the vehicles were rental trucks <em>full<\/em> of out-of-state beverage containers.\u00a0 That was plenty of evidence to move forward with the interagency agreement, which is already inked and operative. The project is a model of efficiency and cooperation in government, and it is poised to save the state millions in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>Losing a nickel or a dime per beverage container may not seem like much, but the Department of Justice estimates that losses could be as high as $40 million annually. Perpetrators don\u2019t just bring in bags or boxes of recyclable containers; they rent commercial-size trucks and pack them to the ceiling, among other methods.\u00a0 It may seem to some like a lucrative \u201cbusiness opportunity,\u201d but it\u2019s fraud, just the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A commercial truck entering CDFA&#8217;s Truckee border inspection station.
