We, the undersigned, support Iowa's Beverage Container Redemption Law, better known as the Bottle Bill.  To make a good thing better, we support strengthening Iowa's Bottle Bill in the following ways:

1) Expand the Bottle Bill to include water, tea, fruit and vegetable juices & drinks, sports drinks, and other non-carbonated beverages, excluding milk.
2) Increase the per container handling fee (paid by distributors to grocery stores and redemption centers) from 1 to 2 cents and establish a schedule for future increases.
3) Maintain the Bottle Bill's current system of redeeming beverage containers.
