Arizona Bottle Bill
Let's clean up Arizona! Impose a small recycling deposit on beverages sold in glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans, which may be redeemed when the containers are turned in for recycling.
Why is this important?
Arizona's beautiful landscape is marred by broken glass, empty glass and plastic bottles and beverage cans. Urban areas have more recycling options, but rural Arizona has become a trash midden. Imposing a 2.5-cent recycling fee per bottle and can would increase recycling, reduce unnecessary waste, clean up the landscapes on which so much of our tourism economy depends, and could provide an allowance supplement for youngsters.
