Bottle Bill
What does a "Yes on Question 2" mean?
It would add a refundable nickel deposit to water, sports drinks, tea, juices and other “on-the-go” beverage containers. A 'Yes' on 2 would also re-establish the Clean Environment Fund, earmarking unclaimed deposits to improve recycling, clean up parks and fund other environmental projects.Check out this FAQ.
 We need multiple strategies to get 100% recycling compliance – that's what the numbers show. Get in touch with locals in Belmont working on this issue: https://www.facebook.com/YesOn2Belmont
