A new Rhode Island bottle bill has been released!
Sign onto a letter showing your support for a strong bottle bill that works for our state!
Why? Single-use beverage containers are a massive litter and waste problem. Plastic drink bottles clogging storm drains and floating into rivers and streams break down into microplastic bits polluting the Bay. And too many beverage containers never get recycled because there wasn’t a convenient option to recycle them or because they were too contaminated from being collected in our mixed curbside program.
Bottle bills work. For almost a year, Clean Water Action, allies, elected officials, and stakeholders have been examining solutions to beverage bottle waste and pollution. The study commission heard from recycling experts from around the country, examined data from other states, and dove deep into our own Rhode Island recycling and waste systems. It’s now clearer than ever that bottle bills work to reduce litter and improve recycling.
