§ 34561 Returning Branded Dairy Equipment

Key Takeaways

  • •If you find dairy equipment (like milk crates or containers) with a brand or logo on them, you must return them to the owner.
  • •If you can't find the owner, you have to tell the director (a person in charge) in writing and describe the brand on the equipment.
  • •You can't just keep or use the dairy equipment if it has a registered brand.

Example

You find a milk crate with a brand name on it while walking down the street.

You can't keep the crate. You have to try to return it to the owner. If you don't know who the owner is, you must write a letter to the director describing the brand on the crate.
