2007 Legislature revises Bottle Bill
Small retail stores may now accept fewer return soft drink bottles and cans from customers under changes in the redemption section of Oregon’s Bottle Bill.
Under provisions of Senate Bill 707, signed into law earlier this year, retailers with less than 5,000 square feet may decline to take more than 50 returned containers per person per day. However, larger stores of 5,000 square feet or more are still required to take 144 containers a day.
Retailers must post signs with this information in areas where containers are returned.
After Jan. 1, 2009, deposits will be required on bottled water containers and stores will make refunds for returns.
