The
bottle bill is the state’s most successful recycling and litter prevention
program. Since 1990, more than 15
billion containers have been redeemed, under the bill, contributing to a
cleaner, healthier environment. But as
consumers’ tastes change, the bottle bill must be updated to keep up with the
times.
The
update would add un-carbonated beverages such as bottled waters, sports drinks,
iced tea and other beverages and would increase the nickel redemption to 10
cents.
Email your state
representative and ask him or her to bring the bottle bill into the 21st
century.
