This bill was introduced into the Senate of the United States on June 18, 1991 to amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act. The purposes of this act are to protect the environment from discarded beverage containers and to reduce solid waste and the cost of disposal of this waste by recycling. The key element of this legislation is to have a national system for requiring a refund value on the sale of all beverage containers. This would act as an incentive to individuals to clean up the environment and would result in a high level of recycling and help to reduce the costs associated with solid waste management.
