I attend this beer party last week for the 4th of July, and somebody brought a 15 pack... yes... 15 pack of the new Coors Light bullet bottles. After the party was over I collected all of them to take to recycling on my way home and discovered that the new can shape is unrecognizable to the machines, which will not take them. A few days later I was headed to the Waste Management center to drop off some Fluorescent bulbs (illegal to throw them away) and figured I would also drop off the Coors cans while I was there. The maintenance worker, by the name of Rafael, told me that he couldn't take the cans for their aluminum recycle value because they are wrapped inside and out with a BPA plastic, and between the plastic is a thin membrane made of a highly toxic thermal chemical that recycling plants don't want to deal with (remember... when the mountains turn blue its time to consume). So CoorsMiller, from me to you- "I just found another reason not to drink you. Your beer already sucks balls, but now you serve it to the public in a highly toxic, non-recyclable can? Go F*#k yourselves."
