New York's Most Successful Recycling Program
|
Implemented in 1983, the New York Bottle Bill has been the state's most successful recycling program for over 40 years. Taking litter from our streets, parks and waterways and turning it into cash for New Yorkers. This system has provided a vital financial resource to many, provided jobs throughout the state in many industries and kept New York communities clean along the way.

New York's Bottle Bill needs to be modernized to keep up with modern times. Fair pay and broader coverage are far overdo.

165 Redemption Centers Closed in 2 Years
|
Due to a stagnant handling fee, redemption centers have been closing at a rapid rate. New York lost over 150 redemption centers in the last 2 years. This is causing loss of small businesses, significant job loss and overwhelming New York landfills.
|
States like Maine, Connecticut, Iowa and California updated their bottle bills in 2023. Other states are introducing legislation to add a bottle bill to their states that do not currently have one. New York is falling behind when it comes to the bottle redemption system.
