Let's finally update the MA Bottle Bill

Here in Massachusetts, many of us have been trying to update the Bottle Bill for a long time. We have a shot this session, but I need all my friends in Massachusetts to help us get it done.

Right now, a Committee of Massachusetts legislators are meeting to finalize the Climate Omnibus Bill. The Committee (Senators Barrett, Creem and Tarr, and Representatives Roy, Haggerty, and Jones)  will determine whether the bill includes the amendment to modernize the Commonwealth’s Bottle Bill program. 

Let's finally update the MA Bottle Bill

If included in the Climate Bill, the updated bottle return program would not only raise the deposit fee from five to ten cents per beverage, but also expand the program to include new types of beverages that were not around in the early 1980s when the Bottle Bill first passed. 

• 82% of registered voters support modernizing the Bottle Bill 

Now is the time to ask your legislators to put pressure on the members of the Committee. 

Just Zero recently conducted a statewide poll on litter and the Bottle Bill. The results show that most voters want legislators to address Massachusetts’ litter problem by modernizing the Bottle Bill this session. In fact, 82% of registered voters support modernizing the Bottle Bill.  

By modernizing the state’s bottle return program through the Climate Omnibus Bill, we can reduce litter and increase recycling across the state. It’s time for legislators to listen to their constituents and update the most impactful recycling program we have – at no cost to taxpayers. 

Contact your legislators now and ask them to put pressure on members of the Committee to update the state’s bottle return program in the finalized Climate Omnibus Bill. 

Thank you for all of your help!

Executive Director,
