Steven Soifer: Maryland legislature must pass bottle deposit bill
- The state of Maryland missed the opportunity to enter the 21st century by passing a container deposit law, better known as a “bottle bill” this year. Currently, 11 states across the U.S. have such bills (CT, DE, HI, IA, ME, MA, NY, OR, VT — $.05, MI — $.10, CA — redemption value). While every bill differs, the common thread running through them is that a person pays an extra amount when purchasing a bottle and receives it back when returning the bottle for recycling.
