Uniting Redemption Centers to Advance the Recycling Industry
Supporting Redemption Centers through Action
Empire State Community Redemption Center Association (ESRA) is fully supportive and prepared to fight for a new Bottle Bill.
We are hopeful that the new legislation will include popular non-carbonated beverages (such as tea, coffee, juices and sports drinks), wine, spirits, and hard cider. The legislation would also Increase the redeemable deposit value to 10-cents and the handling fee from 3.5 cents to 7 cents. These changes will ensure that redemption centers and redeemers have the ability to grow and prosper in a competitive economy. To do so fairly, New York also needs to make the program more convenient and equitable for all New Yorkers.
