Expanding California's Bottle Bill

The Case for Expanding California's Container Recycling Law ("The Bottle Bill") to Include Wine and Liquor Containers

The City of Union City and Tri-CED Community Recycling lead efforts in extending California's Bottle Bill to include wine and liquor containers.

Summary of Proposal - Legislation should be enacted to expand California's successful Container Recycling Program to include wine and liquor bottles. More than 600 million glass & plastic wine and liquor bottles are generated in California, more than 70% of which are currently littered or land filled. Providing a 5 and 10 cent consumer refund will substantially increase the recycling of these containers, reduce urban litter, conserve natural resources and help to create jobs.
