Earn Cash, Cut Trash

The Recycling Refund and Litter Reduction Amendment Act of 2025 known as "the Bottle Bill," was introduced on January 15, 2025. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Business and Economic Development for 120 days, and then to the Committee on Transportation and the Environment. A hearing will be scheduled for public comment. The bill can be accessed here. The campaign needs your support more than ever. Please Join the Campaign.
