Today, the New York State Association of Counties urged\nGovernor Cuomo and the State Legislature to make modifications to the proposed\nexpansion of the Returnable Container Act, which would add a deposit to sports\ndrinks, energy drinks, fruit and vegetable beverages, and ready-to-drink\ncoffees and teas. The Association claims\nthat the proposal harms recycling programs that are already being threatened by\nglobal recycling market volatility, instead they urge the State to add a\ndeposit to additional glass beverage containers, including wine and liquor\nbottles, hard cider bottles, and non-alcoholic glass beverage containers as\nGlass causes problems in the municipal recycling stream because it breaks and\ncontaminates other recyclables. Placing a deposit on these containers would\nincrease glass recycling, reduce municipal recycling costs, and reduce glass\ncontamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
