Bottle Bill 163
Why would we change or do away with any bill or law that has worked for almost 40 years?
Our roadsides and right of way are nearly clear of drink cans and bottles; unlike other states that do not have a deposit law.
It clearly seems the grocery and convenience stores have had a total influence on your decision to change what has worked so very well for Iowa and Iowans.
What needs to be changed or adjusted is to increase the deposit and the reimbursement to someone willing to redeem them (the redemption centers 10,000 cans = $100, $0.01 each).
The businesses that sell the drinks and don’t want to redeem them should consider help paying something to someone who would be willing to do so.
Also, water and juice containers should be included.
