In those states, you pay an extra deposit amount on each bottle/can at purchase. Guests bring back in their bottles and cans into the store. The machine scans them, seperate and the crush cans/plastics, and prints out a receipt where guest service refunds the deposit.
The Cart Attendants are supposed to maintain the machines. But when you have constant traffic of people coming in and using the only 2 machines, the machines wear down, people leave huge mounds of trash behind, and people throw a fit of trying to bring back non-Target brand.
And CAs also have to recycle all the TM bottles and cans from the breakroom. Which takes about an hour for a large trash can worth.
In the chance of when it breaks down or doesn't scan right, my old GS TMs would always call the CAs in to handle it. Which was about every 5 minutes. If it doesn't scan, it is because the computer is never updated. When it breaks, usually because guests overload it or all the drink residue gums it up, it takes about 2 weeks for a serviceperson to come to the store.
