Who else sees the obvious solution? Get rid of deposits on aluminum cans. They are worth enough to be collected and sold, there's no reason for a deposit.

Or require a Michigan ID to acetate the machines.

Or require a Michigan ID to activate the machines.

Interesting that they want to crack down on the smugglers, instead of outlawing the cans.

I have a place in upper Michigan. I am a Minnesota resident with proper ID and license plates. In the event that I buy recyclables in Michigan, why should I have to produce a MI ID to get back my deposit. The question is why are cans stamped $.10 refund being sold outside of Michigan.
