Thanks to the effort of MUCC and conservationists throughout the state, the Michigan "Bottle Bill" (Initiatied Law 1 of 1976, MCL 445.571-576) was passed in 1976. This law placed a deposit on pop and beer cans/bottles. The law has produced dramatic results. Ninety-seven percent of all pop and beer cans/ bottles are recycled in Michigan because of our high redemption rates. Beer and pop cans have disappeared from our roadsides, rivers and streams. New jobs have been produced and energy has been saved.
It is time for another citizen effort to add water and other non-carbonated beverages to the Bottle Law.

We the undersigned, support expanding the Michigan %u201CBottle Bill%u201D law (Initiated Law 1 of 1976, MCL 445.571-576) to include water bottles and other non-carbonated beverage containers.
