What is a bottle bill?

A tax on beverages with no refunds.

Law that requires payment of a deposit on specified beverage containers at time of purchase and the subsequent refund of the deposit when consumers return the containers for redemption.

A bottle bill is a law that requires paying a small deposit on specified beverage containers at the time of purchase and then getting that deposit back when the consumer returns the containers for redemption. The purpose is to create a financial incentive to recycle and to reduce litter and waste. The deposit amount is usually a few cents and applies only to containers covered by the law (such as certain bottles and cans). This differs from a tax, because the deposit is refundable, and it is not a program to ban containers or simply a voluntary recycling effort.

A program to ban beverage containers.

A voluntary program for container recycling.
