Updating the Bottle Bill will add additional beverage containers for products such as bottled water and sport drinks to the list of containers that require a $.05 deposit. The consumption of these beverages has grown exponentially since the adoption of the original bill. An updated bottle bill complements municipal recycling programs by targeting containers that are consumed away from home and are frequently littered and thrown in the trash. As a result, an updated bottle bill increases overall beverage container recycling, supporting jobs within the recycling industry while reducing litter and the waste of valuable resources.
