Ten Arrested in Recycling Fraud Schemes

SEATTLE (Waste 360): The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) recently announced that 10 suspects have been arrested for allegedly smuggling out-of-state beverage containers into California in an attempt to defraud the California Redemption Value fund, according to a Lake County News report.

CalRecycle worked hand-in-hand with its investigative partners at the California Department of Justice to identify and catch the suspects in action.

Additionally, in September, CalRecycle worked with the California Department of Justice and the California Department of Food and Agriculture to set up a checkpoint to reduce the illegal importation of out-of-state beverage containers.
