Bottle Bill Action Center

Tell your elected officials it’s time for a Bigger Better Bottle Bill!

Add your name to the growing list of Vermonters who support an expanded Bottle Bill. While a recent poll shows over 90% of Vermonters support this measure, our elected officials have been slow to take action. We need to make sure they don’t ignore this commonsense, effective legislation for another year!

Updating Vermont’s Bottle Bill recycling program to include water bottles, sports drinks and other non-carbonated beverage containers would have a number of benefits, including:

1) Recycling an additional 96.7 million cans and bottles in Vermont each year,
2) Reducing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking more than 1,200 cars off the road annually,
3) Creating approximately 100 new local jobs, and
4) Generating more than $3 million in annual revenue without raising taxes on anyone.

Sign on to support updating our state’s most successful recycling program, the Bottle Bill.

We the undersigned support expanding the state’s most sucessful recycling program: the Bottle Bill
