20.11.2025 21:25 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Any lawmakers in Iowa who are against our bottle bill and find it "incredibly problematic"... the Iowa City Litter Crew would like to invite you to come pick up litter with us for a couple of months and tell us whether you feel the same. Bottle bills work. Fix them, don't undermine them.

We're disappointed by the anti-bottle bill comments from Kathryn Garcia, Hochul aid & former DSNY Commissioner.
What's incredibly problematic is the fact that the Hochul admin can't recognize the value of NY's most effective recycling system.
The bill works, & modernization would be a win for NY!
Last month, a team of our canners, staff, & board travelled to Vancouver to exchange with fellow members of the North American Alliance of Wastepickers (NAWPA): Binner's Project, Groundscore Association, & Coop Les Valoristes. A great week full of sharing ideas & building solidarity!
