Bill > H2905

This bill aims to improve recycling by clarifying rules for reverse vending machines, which are automated machines that accept empty beverage containers for deposit redemption. Specifically, it amends existing law to require distributors to accept all containers they've sold to dealers within the last sixty days, regardless of where the dealer obtained them, if the dealer uses a reverse vending machine. It also mandates that distributors must accept any container sold directly to a specific dealer, and that bottlers or multi-store dealers must accept their own private label or exclusive brand containers from any dealer within sixty days of sale.
