Hi Folks,
We need action on this issue!! The Bottle Bill Update legislation has been stalled and blocked by some of our elected officials for some 16 years! World War II only took 4 years!
Join us on Saturday April 6th at 7pm for some great comedy, music and conversation as we rally to push for passage of an updated Bottle Bill.
What is the "Updated" Bottle Bill, you ask?
The Bottle Bill has been around for 30 years, and it is by far the state's most effective recycling and litter control program. It's a great bill, BUT it doesn't cover water, tea, or other non-carbonated beverages. That's what we're pushing for on April 6th - an expanded Bottle Bill!
The Battle for the Bottle Bill started for me last July during this curbside "debate" at The Statehouse. I was outnumbered 2 to 1, but so what! Check it out!

Why the Bottle Bill Update?
It will decrease litter and increase recycling.
It is endorsed by 208 cities and towns.
It is supported by 77% of voters.
It helps cities and towns with litter/disposal costs; The State estimates that cities and towns will save approximately $7 million total in these costs once the update passes.
It complements curbside recycling, reaching the on-the-go beverages that curbside cannot. For example, curbside recycling recycles only 22% of water bottles, but the bottle bill brings in 80% of deposit bottles like Coke and Pepsi.
