ANNAPOLIS As Marylanders
launched a Bottle Bill Walk across
the state this week, legislation re
quiring mandatory deposits for
throwaway beverage containers
was making news in both New
York and Pennsylvania.
In Maryland, one group of en
vironmentalists left the West
Virginia state line on Wednesday
headed for Annapolis. A second
group leaves Ocean City on Sept. 23
for the state capital and a joint
rally on October 1.
In New York, a returnable
container law went into effect on
Monday. With annual sales of 7
billion containers a year. New
York by far has been the largest
container state among the nine
with a mandatory five-cent deposit
thus far.
And in Pennsylvania where
£ legislation has been introduced,
“momentum is reported to be
building in favor of the proposed
law for the Commonwealth. A
number of legislators, particularly
from rural areas, report the bottle
bill is uppermost in the minds of
many constituents. And backing by
organized farm groups is in
creasing, too.
The Maryland Bottle Bill Walk is
being sponsored by Citizens
Against Waste, a coalition of en
vironmental groups established to
push for a bottle deposit law.
As has happened in all states, the
Maryland coalition is bucking the
powerful anti-bottle lull lobby,
which includes beverage
manufacturers, the glass and can
industries, store chains and even
organized labor in these industries.
This lobby group claims that the
bottle bills have cost jobs, increase

prices and sales decline.
For example, the Brewers
Association and the Can
Manufacturers Institute say the
New York law will cost consumers
f4OO million a year in higher prices
for beverages.
But concerning jobs, Vermont
reports about 500 new jobs have
been created - mostly at
redempttomn centers - because of
the redemption law in effect since
1973.
Michigan's bottle bill, which
began in 1978, has created some
4,800 jobs, according to the
Michigan United Conservation
Clubs.
Bills are scheduled to be con
sidered in New Jersey and Rhode
Island, which have laws before
their legislators; and in Florida,
South Carolina, Maryland,
Virginia and Washington, D.C.,
which plan to introduce legislation
in January.
In addition, Arkansas,
Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Min
nesota, Wisconsin and New Mexico
are considering laws.
Four Western states threw out
efforts last November, including
California, Colorado, Arizona and
Washington.
Here in Pennsylvania, both
backers of a bottle bill and op
ponents will be active again.
Pennsylvania Farmers
Association reports it kicked off an
all-out anti-UUer campaign at Ag
Progress Days.
Nearly 600 signatures were
collected on petitions supporting
bottle bills that have been in
troduced - H.B. 1341 and S.B. 463.
Sample letters to be sent to in
dividual state legislators were also
signed or distributed at Ag
