Changes To Bottle Recycling Law Considered
(Salem, OR) -- A bill in the Oregon Legislature would limit the hours stores would be required to accept bottle returns. Convenience stores that are open around-the-clock are required to take bottles at any time, and at night people are often belligerent or intimidating. The bill would allow stores to stop accepting bottle returns after 8 p.m. If stores set up alternative drop sites, bottle returns could be refused after 6 p.m.
