Recycling is good, but there are rules.

Signed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty May 1, a new law prohibits a scrap metal dealer from buying or receiving a refillable metal beer keg, except from the manufacturer or the brewer.

Sponsored by Rep. Joe Atkins (DFL-Inver Grove Heights) and Senate President James Metzen (DFL-South St. Paul), the law is effective Aug. 1, 2008.
