Send 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 beverage bottles clog storm drains, float into rivers and streams, and break down into microplastic bits that pollute the Bay. And many beverage containers of all materials 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 over a year, Clean Water Action, allies, elected officials, and stakeholders have been examining solutions to beverage bottle waste and pollution. The study commission has 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. It's time for legislative action.
Sign a message to your state legislators today telling them we want waterways, parks, and beaches free of beverage container litter. Let them know you support the solution: a bottle bill!
