I had thought about doing that, but found out it's illegal. There was actually some story in the news a little while ago about a couple who owned a recycling place in Maine and were accepting stuff from NH and probably other states. They ended up being prosecuted (at least, I think that's how the story goes - anyone from ME feel free to correct me)

yes that is the way I understand the law. these govt. people never understand business. We spend millions from taxpayers on hiring out of state construction companies to bid on govt jobs who work and live out of state, but then someone wants to bring some bottles and cans from NH and we all go nuts shutting them down. Way to go maine...
