§ 34565 Dairy Equipment Deposit Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If you rent dairy equipment (like milk containers) and pay a deposit, it’s not the same as buying it.
  • •The deposit is just to make sure you return the equipment safely.
  • •Even if the equipment has a brand or mark on it, paying a deposit doesn’t mean you own it.

Example

You rent a milk crate from a dairy farm and pay a $10 deposit.

The $10 is just to make sure you bring the crate back. You don’t own the crate just because you paid the deposit.

If the owner of any container, cabinet, or other dairy equipment which is marked or branded, or any other person that is lawfully entitled to use the container, cabinet, or other dairy equipment, requires a deposit for security for its safekeeping and return, it does not constitute a sale, optional or otherwise, of the container, cabinet, or other dairy equipment. (Enacted by Stats. 1967, Ch. 15.)
