Sugar water (aka Tropicana Strawberry Lemonade) containers carry a deposit in Maine, Hawaii, Oregon and California but, sadly, not New York. Makes no sense!

Container redemption is part of the economy in NYS, and you’ll find plenty of pop-up redemption centers, like this one in Hollis, Queens

We met Inez, 78 years old, as she collected cans near the Army Terminal in Sunset Park. When we mentioned that it must be a good hustle a retired person like her, she corrected us. “I’m not retired,” she said. Indeed.

Hydration drink? Electrolyte beverage? Ice Tea? Kombucha? None of this stuff is currently covered under New York’s
bottle bill. That needs to change.

Can collectors are working hard across NYC this summer, and if your eyes are open, you can’t miss them. Thank you, Xian-jong (on Upper 5th Ave, Manhattan)

Billy is an independent recycler we spoke to on 5th Ave in Park Slope, Brooklyn - just one of thousands of folks doing this work across NYC.

Do you see the Gatorade Zero bottle in this public trash can? No deposit was paid on it, its worth nothing, no canner will pick it out. Instead, this bottle is bound for the landfill, and we taxpayers will pay to have it hauled there. This needs to change.

Take a look for yourself some day. On nearly every block of NYC you’ll find public trash cans with empty beverage containers, to be landfilled by the city instead of put back into the circular economy.

How does the Bigger Better Bottle Bill save cities money? For one, by keeping them from having to collect, haul, and landfill empty containers, like these, from public trash cans

All these brands that are currently not included in the bottle bill end up in our waterways and landfills. Please sign our petition to @leaderasc.bsky.social in support of the Bigger Better Bottle Bill. We have 6 weeks of legislative session left. www.change.org/p/new-york-n...?

Estimates from @reloop.bsky.social are that the BBBB will save 5.4 billion bottles and cans yearly, enough to overflow Yankee Stadium. This only happens if we raise the deposit from a nickel to a dime, which should increase redemption rates to near 90%. @leaderasc.bsky.social

The Bottle Bill was not originally imagined as a work program for some of our most marginalized workers. But that is what it has become. Clean streets + a little income for people like Sergio, from Soundview Bronx. It’s time for 10 cents for people like him.
