The bottle and can return machines at Hi-Lite Super Market in Monroe are one target of a growing scam that's hitting Michigan and its beverage distributors with million-dollar losses: collecting 10-cent refunds on returnable containers for which no deposit was paid.
Conveniently just 12 miles north of the state line, the grocery is one of many shops in southern Michigan where free money is available through the "return" of nondeposit empties from beverages bought in Indiana, Ohio or other states without bottle deposit laws.
