Redemption law change already impacting area

A change to Iowa redemption law is already set to impact Ida County and much of the state as well. With a new bottle and can redemption law taking effect over the weekend, many businesses that had accepted drink containers for redemption will no longer be required to take those containers.

Under the new law, businesses making ready-to-eat food are among those exempt from having to accept containers, a change from the previous law.
