California's Bottle & Can Recycling Law - The Bottle Bill


UPDATE: Recycling Funds Restored as a Result of Bottle Bill Fix (AB 7)

California's Bottle Bill is one of the nation's most successful litter and pollution reduction programs.  Since 1988, Californians have recycled more than 10 million tons of aluminum, glass and plastic beverage containers. No other recycling program or policy in this state has resulted in higher recycling levels, and no program of its kind in the country has been found to be more cost effective.
