Bottle Bills

Bottle bills are laws requiring a deposit paid when purchasing certain beverage containers, like bottles and cans. Customers pay a small extra fee upfront, which they get back when they return the empty container for recycling. These laws encourage recycling by making it financially beneficial to return used bottles rather than throw them away. Implemented in some states, bottle bills help reduce litter, conserve resources, and promote environmental responsibility by incentivizing proper disposal and recycling of beverage containers.
