Pennsylvania Lawmaker Proposes Bottle, Can Deposit Bill
Under House Bill 1322, consumers in Pennsylvania would pay a 5-cent deposit per beverage container at the retailer or distributor.
SEATTLE (Waste 360): Pennsylvania Rep. Wendy Ullman has introduced a bill that would encourage residents in the state to recycle and reward them for doing so.
Under House Bill 1322, consumers in Pennsylvania would pay a 5-cent deposit per beverage container at the retailer or distributor. As an incentive to recycle, consumers would get that 5 cents per container back if they take them to a bottle redemption center.
However, Erie News Now reports that if consumers don’t return their glass or plastic bottles and/or aluminum cans, the 5-cent deposit they paid per container would be claimed by the state and put into the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund.
