An Act to expand the Bottle Bill

This bill expands Massachusetts' Bottle Bill to include more beverage containers and streamline returns. It adds a "bag-drop program" allowing consumers to drop off containers at designated locations for refunds within 3 days, defines "beverage" (excluding infant formula and animal-milk products), and increases the minimum refund value from $0.05 to $0.10 per container. The bill creates a "Clean Environment Fund" to manage collected deposits, using funds for waste programs, redemption center infrastructure, and water system improvements - excluding incineration costs. It directly affects consumers returning containers, retailers collecting deposits, and state environmental programs.
