Senator Harnisch Polls Back Ban on Nonreturnable Bottles
State Senator Thomas Harnisch cites 1975 and latest surveys showing about 70 percent support a ban on nonreturnable beer and soft drink containers or mandatory deposits. He argues deposits would conserve iron and bauxite, cut litter costs, and save energy, noting opponents cite jobs loss and minimal litter impact. He cites Oregon's drop in litter and a federal study predicting 32 to 43 percent energy savings, while criticizing breweries for data gaps and backing his bills 617 and 605 that have failed.
