Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Publishes February 2014 Report to Increase Statewide Recycling

In January 2014, “Recycling Refund System Cost Benefit Analysis,” a 33-page report, was published on behalf of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) by Reclay StewardEdge. In 2007, MPCA established a goal to recycle 80% of beverage containers in the state by January 2012. Currently, Minnesota’s beverage  container recycling rate is approximately 45%. The study found that a new recycling refund system would result in increased recycling of approximately 107,000 tons of beverage containers in the state, or approximately 1.9 billion container units. The report found that in addition to the increase in quantity of beverage containers recycled, the quality of the collected commodities would be improved over that of the existing recycling systems. Several organizations and agencies inside and outside the state, including CRI, submitted comments and gave testimony about the reports assumptions and findings. In February 2014, based largely on the Reclay StewardEdge Report and public comments and testimony, MPCA released, “Increasing Recycling of Beverage Containers in Minnesota: Recommendations for Statewide Recycling Refund  Program.”
You can find the full report at:  http://www.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/view-document.html?gid=20637

2011 Minnesota Deposit-refund bill

Bill Number and Name HF 1494 / SF 1206
Sponsors Representative Hortman / Senators Sieben, Marty
Beverages Covered All beverages in liquid form, excluding milk
Containers Covered Metal, glass, plastic, or combination, up to 3L
Deposits 10¢
Handling Fees 1 or 2¢, depending on the type of business receiving the fee
Other Fees / Taxes Annual registration fee, paid by manufacturers to state
Reclamation System Return to retailers and approved refund centers
Unredeemed Deposits 90% go to state environmental fund, 10% divided among counties for waste management

Details

Deposits Effective January 1, 2012

Manufacturers must register with the Pollution Control Agency and pay a fee every year. The first year, the manufacturer must pay $3 per 10,000 containers sold, and after that, $1 per 10,000 containers.

Creates a beverage container recycling account where fees and penalty payments are deposited. Manufacturers initiate the deposit by paying the deposit and a 2¢ handling fee into this fund for every container sold. This handling fee is returned to retailers and refund centers. However, "large general merchandise stores" only receive a 1¢ handlig fee.

One unique provision of the bill is that "A retailer must ensure that the process of redeeming empty beverage containers is no more time-consuming and no less efficient than making a retail purchase at the retailer's store."

Finally, the bill specifies a number of reporting duties that various entities must attend to, as well as the penalties for violating the law.

Primary Sponsor Rep. Weed, Rep. Phillips
Beverages Covered Beer, ale, malt, wine, wine coolers, all non-alcoholic drinks except unflavored rice milk, unflavored soy milk, milk, and dairy derived products
Containers Covered Not specified (therefore, all containers containing covered beverages)
Deposits 5¢
Handling Fees 3.5¢, 3¢ for commingling
Other Fees / Taxes None
Reclamation System Return to dealer or redemption center
Unredeemed Deposits Property of the state

Details

Deposits are initiated by manufacturers or distributors of beverage containers. They pass the 5¢-per-container deposit on to retailers, who pass it on to consumers.

Distributors are responsible for picking up empty containers from dealers or redemption centers and paying those parties directly. In addition to the refund value, they must also pay a 3.5¢ per container handling fee. Under a commingling agreement, dealers or redemption centers may commingle containers of "like product group, material, and size." Under a commingling agreement, the handling fee per container is 3¢.

"Like products" as defined by the bill, are categories of beverage: beer/malt beverages, soda, noncarbonated water, and all other beverages.

Commingling agreements may only be made if at least 50% of the containers of like product group, material or size are covered by the agreement.

Under this bill, deposit initiators (e.g. distributors) must keep any deposits received in a separate account and remit all unclaimed deposits to the department of revenue administration.

Nevada

2011 deposit-refund bill

What began as a bill for a deposit law was amended to be a study bill, which passed in June.

Bill Number and Name Assembly Bill 427 / Senate Bill 389
Primary Sponsor Assemblyman James Ohrenschall / Senate Committee on Natural Resources
Beverages Covered beer and other malt beverages, mineral water, soda water and similar carbonated soft drinks
Containers Covered glass, metal or plastic or any combination
Deposits 5¢
Handling Fees 1¢, paid by distributor or bottler to dealer
Reclamation System Return to retail
Unredeemed Deposits Property of the Division of Environmental Protection

Details

Deposit bill

Beverage containers are exempted from the deposit if they are sold and drunk in a restaurant, bar, casino, or resort, with a recycling program on premises, or if they are sold for use on an interstate transportation vessel.

Upon pickup of redeemed containers, distributors pay a 1¢ handling fee to dealers, and are in turn paid the handling fee by the bottler.

Every dealer must maintain a Deposit Transaction Account where they are to keep all the money they receive through the deposit system, and report on the activity in the account to the Division of Environmental Protection. Abandoned deposits must be remitted monthly to the Division of Environmental Protection. These funds are to be used for recycling and recycling education programs.

In support of the Nevada bill, the Container Recycling Institute produced "Moving Recycling Forward in Nevada" [pdf], a policy document illustrating the economic and environmental of a deposit-refund system for beverage containers in the state.

Study bill

The Assembly Bill was amended twice in the House. The first amendment made some changes to the proposed deposit system. The second amendment changed the entire scope of the bill, to enact an interim study of a possible deposit system. The text of the bill after both amendments is included in AB 427: As Enrolled

The study will be conducted by 3 senators and 3 Assembly members. Rather than confining the deposit system to just beverage containers, the committee is encouraged to consider a deposit on any and all recyclable materials. They are also directed to study additional ways of encouraging recycling.

The 2010-2011 New Jersey Campaign

The 2010-2011 New Jersey Smart Container Act is identical to A131 of the 2008-2009 Legislative session.

Bill Number A930, the Smart Container Act (Identical to S1467)
Primary Sponsor Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri-Huttle LD37 (D-Bergen)
Containers Covered Every container containing the beverages below. All containers must be marked with a "smart bar code" to identify it as being sold in the state
Beverages Covered All carbonated and noncarbonated ready-to-drink beverages excepts except milk, milk substitutes, medicines, and alcoholic beverages
Deposits 10¢ (8-24 oz.)
20¢ (24oz - 1gal)
Handling Fees none
Other Fees / Taxes none
Reclamation System Return-to-retail, unless retailer is served by a licensed redemption center
Unredeemed Deposits Become part of the state's Smart Container Fund. 25% go back to retailers and redemption centers to defray administrative costs. 75% retained by the state for administration, public education and enforcement programs, and to provide grants for environmental projects

 

Details

The 2010 bottle bill in New Jersey, as introduced, is identical to the bill introduced last legislative session, although it is likely to be amended to make it more palatable to the opposition. It will face a challenge this year, in that the newly elected governor, Christopher Christie, a pro-corporate Republican, is fundamentally opposed to deposits.

New Jersey's Smart Container Act basically requires a 10¢ and 20¢ deposit on all personal beverage containers and establishes a redemption process for the state of NJ.  The bill was modeled primarily after Michigan which has 10¢ deposits, but includes aspects from the ten other bottle bill states.  As in Michigan the Smart Container Act has two key provisions: 

 1. The proposal's escheat provision requires that 75 percent of the unclaimed deposits would be kept by the State while the other 25 percent would be redistributed proportionately to retailers and redemption centers by the State Treasurer for handling costs, based on the total number of beverage container redeemed as provided in the certified monthly reports.  

2. The State's unclaimed deposits would be deposited in an environmental fund to defray the costs of administration, public education and enforcement programs, and to provide grants for various environmental projects, including land preservation, litter cleanup and public area beautification activities. 

As of January 31, 2011, the bills were still in committee after being introduced the previous year. According to David Yennior of Sierra Club:

Bills don't move unless there is a signal from the governor that he will sign something. Governor Christie has not indicated a willingness to impose what he considered a tax when he was a candidate. I get calls from all over the country from recyclers who want to set up business in New Jersey. The Smart Container Act would generate much needed employment in the private sector. The unclaimed deposits would probably generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the State. In addition, local governments would be relieved of recycling costs for most beverage containers. NJ Sierra is not giving up on this.  We are asking County Freeholders to sign resolutions in favor of the bills.

The 2008-2009 New Jersey Campaign

Modeled after Michigan's deposit law, the Smart Container Act takes the best of the nation's bills and will become a model legislation for other states as a tool to double recycling rates, reclaim precious natural resources, reduce global warming, reduce litter in our waterways, beaches, and roadsides.

The Smart Container Act takes the best of the nation's bills and will become a model legislation for other states as a tool to double recycling rates, reclaim precious natural resources, reduce global warming, reduce litter in our waterways, beaches, and roadsides.

Enacting this Bill will be a tremendous political challenge, as the retailers association and beverage industry routinely invest millions of dollars to oppose deposit legislation.  However, the industry must become part of the solution and municipalities will save tax dollars by being relieved of a considerable portion of the recycling responsibility.

People and institutions are resistant to change, but with dismal recycling rates in New Jersey, a budget crisis looming, and will Global Warming new strategies must be enacted.

In 2009, Everyone in NJ is concerned about budget deficits.  The bottle bill would bring money into the state tax base and help the economy.  But that is something that the leaders of the Assembly & Senate don't understand yet.

Assemblywoman Huttle's is the prime sponsor of the bill and is determined, but this is election year, so the Smart Container Act may have to wait until November when she and the other assembly supporters are re-elected.
