A new proposal would temporarily double California's payout for can and bottle recycling - from 10 to 20 cents.
To get the state’s nearly 40 million residents to recycle more and send more deposits back to them, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration unveiled a plan Friday to temporarily double to a dime the refund for a 12-ounce bottle or can. California already pays 10 cents on containers over 24 ounces , and that would temporarily double to 20 cents.the country.
"That money isn’t doing anybody any good sitting in the bank," Court said. "We need a complete structural fix, but this is a good interim step." California’s doubling of refunds would be temporary — a duration for the change has yet to be decided — and is expected to cost $100 million. If approved by the Legislature the refund increase would take effect sometime during the next fiscal year that starts July 1.
Consumers are very upset that "they are unable to return their bottles and cans and get their money back as promised," said Sanborn, who also heads California’s Statewide Commission on Recycling Markets & Curbside Recycling.
