Hey, NY, It's been more than 40 years. Time for an update!

@bottlebill.bsky.social
A coalition of environmentalists, charities, & civic groups has found most NY retailers have not posted the required Bottle Bill “Bill of Rights."
The coalition has asked Gov. Hochul to ensure compliance with the law & to prioritize modernization of the Bottle Bill in the next legislative session.

Groups to Gov. Hochul: Make Bottle Bill more convenient
We all are familiar with New York’s Bottle Bill. That’s the law that requires a nickel deposit on some beverage containers – soda, beer, and water. It’s been on the books for over 40 years.
