Bottle Bill Expansion - 2007 Legislative Highlight

Bottle Bill Expansion - CCAG helped pass the first Bottle Bill decades ago, which since its inception, has kept billions of bottles off our streets and out of our landfills. An effort to expand and update the Bottle Bill was not successful due to opposition of the Speaker of the House, Rep. Amman. Its aim was to include the millions of non-carbonated beverage bottles that consumers now use everyday but that do not have a deposit. It’s important to update this historic and effective bill to meet new consumer behavior trends and CCAG is committed to pushing for the expansion in the next legislative session.
