Are You Getting Tired Of Picking Up Other People’s Trash?
You Can Take Action To Clean Up Litter And Plastic Waste By Supporting the 2025 Rhode Island Bottle Bills!
Beverage bottles clog storm drains, float into rivers and streams, and break down into microplastic bits that pollute our ponds and waterways. There is a solution! States with bottle bills have less litter and higher rates of recycling.
This year Rhode Island has two proposed bottle bills. Sign a letter to your state legislators today! Tell them to support H6207 and H6206 to fight litter and waste!
You can read the bills and track their progress at H6207 and H6206
You can write to your legislators in support of the bills with this easy to use form provided by Clean Water Action.

Charlestown’s Representative Tina Spears is the primary sponsor of H6206, but it does not hurt to send the letter to her. It helps her to see there is support for her bill. Share the post with your friends in other communities and more legislators may then get the message.
