Starting shortly: The first hearing on DC's bottle bill!

This major environmental legislation would drastically reduce litter in streets, parks and rivers by placing a refundable 10-cent deposit on beverage containers sold in the District.

How will DC's bottle bill system protect against fraud? Reverse vending machines can read market-specific codes & reject those not sold in DC. We can also educate residents to place out-of-state containers in recycling bins and limit how many containers can be returned at one time.
Bottle bill facts. How can businesses be sure bottles and cans that are redeemed were purchased in D.C. and eligible for a refund? The industry is responsible for creating codes, labels, or other guard rails to ensure that only containers sold in the District are given refunds. The industry has many tools at its disposal and the system has worked well in states and provinces around the world.

Small retailers (less than 2,000 square feet) are not required to collect/redeem containers under DC's bottle bill.

But they are allowed to opt-in and might want to - retailers are paid a generous handling fee!

Bottle Bill facts: How will this legislation impact small businesses? Stores with under 2,000 sq ft devoted to the display of merchandise are exempted from the requirement to take back beverage containers (but those stores are allowed to opt-in if they want). Grocers and other retailers that redeem beverage containers will be paid a generous handling fee per container to cover the cost of taking back, handling, and storing bottles and cans.

There are many factors that impact the price of a beverage. There is no evidence that a bottle bill is one of them in any state or other country.

Get more bottle bill facts, like how it is expected to exponentially improve DC's recycling rate, here: brianneknadeau.com/bottle-bill/
Graphic that reads "Bottle Bill Facts. How will this legislation impact the price of beverages? Experience in other states shows that manufacturers and distributors do not increase the price on their product when a bottle bill is implemented. In fact, container redemption programs put money back into our local communities through employment opportunities as "canners," at grocers and redemption centers."

Bancroft Elementary School student advisory council members asked CM @brianneknadeau some very informed questions on their visit to the Wilson Building, incl what are her top 3 priorities (services, schools, housing) and whether there’s a bunker in case of emergency (neither confirm nor deny!).
