From www.bottlebill.org, we learn that eleven states: Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Delaware, Michigan, Iowa, Oregon, California, & Hawaii have bottle bills. These are five cent deposits on beverage cans and bottles.

Probably, the biggest argument in favor of a 5-cent bottle bill is that it doubles the number of containers that get recycled when compared to curbside recycling. The biggest opponents are the beverage industry and super markets.

Will the NH 5-cent bottle bill, HB675-FN, get passed this year by the New Hampshire legislature? Wednesday, January 6 is opening day for NH's legislative session. Could be a good idea to tighten the chinstrap on your helmet!
