Michigan lawmakers reintroduced legislation earlier this week that would update the state’s recycling system by expanding the Michigan Bottle Bill law.
As it stands now, in Michigan, residents can only use the bottle returns for certain carbonated drinks, such as soft drinks, and beer. Although, the new legislation looks to expand the law to include all non-carbonated drinks except milk containers.
Lawmakers mentioned the move is to help keep those extra containers off the streets and out of the landfills.
