It began as a way to promote recycling and has been massively successful.
However, people have been abusing the system and coming in from other states to get more money.
To fight this the state had added a stamp for cans from Michigan.
This still didn't stop the "smugglers" and so now the state is considering more drastic action.
A bill, currently in the state house, would give the state the ability to charge and arrest people who bring in other states cans.
Under the bill, bringing in between one hundred and ten thousand nonreturnable containers would be punishable by up to ninety-three days in jail and a thousand dollar fine.
