PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — When bottle deposits went from a nickel to a dime, the higher rate only applied to some drinks. But starting January 1, 2018, the bottle bill is expanding to cover just about everything in sealed glass, plastic or metal.

“The bottle bill is expanding to include Gatorade, kombucha, coffee, tea, energy drinks, sports drinks,” said Joel Schoening of the Oregon Beverage Recycling Co-op.

In fact, the expanded deposit bill includes some 5000 new and different brands.

Schnoening said the co-op will add 45 new machines, 11 new locations and 16 more full-time jobs just to handle the extra bottle and can traffic they anticipate.

They’ve also been working with retailers, manufacturers and distributors to update the barcode system that determines which bottles require the dime deposit.

“Basically, containers are redeemable by the style of container and what’s in them, not by how it’s labeled,” he told KOIN 6 News.

Christie Scott with the Oregon Liquor Control Commission said the deadline for manufacturers and retailers to sell out of the old containers and get new labeled product on the shelves isn’t for about a year.

“You’re probably not going to see the new labels that say ‘OR 10 cents’ on them until closer to January of 2019,” Scott said. “The rule of thumb is, if it’s a single-use container and you can pick it up and it’s readily drinkable… it likely has a 10-cent refund value for it.”

What’s not covered with a 10-cent deposit: wine, hard liquor, milk and infant formula.

Schoening said 100% of the recycling co-op’s plastic is recycled here in Oregon, not overseas.

“We’re excited and we think we’re ready,” he said.
