A WV Bottle Bill - A Powerful Weapon To Help Clean Up Cabell County

Linda Frame, who is our Fearless Leader in attempts to have a bottle bill enacted in West Virginia, sent me an email outlining what is going on in recycling in WV and across the country.

As far as the WV Bottle Bill goes, during the legislative interims they chose it for study. So far the committee assigned the bill has not placed it on the agenda, but will take it up in the fall. Once we know more, we will pass it along.

If you are interested in seeing Huntington and Cabell County free of empty plastic and glass bottles, sign the on-line petition at http://www.wvbottlebill.org/. If you think your city or town council would support a Bottle Bill, ask them to pass a resolution (a sample resolution is available on the website).

Finally, if you would like to support this campaign financially, you can do that at the website or by sending a check to: WV-CAG Bottle Bill Campaign, 1500 Dixie Street, Charleston, WV 25311
