Bigger Bottle Law not about recycling

From the NY Daily Balance:

...let's be honest. This new law really had nothing to do with cleaning the environment.

The state already has laws in place that require curbside recycling of the very same products we will now have to save, store and haul back to the grocery.

Aubertine, Valesky and Stachowski are banking on us NOT bringing our water bottle back.

That will cost us in lost deposits, but mean hundreds of millions more for them to waste on more reckless spending.

Absolutely the end of recycling. People will not bring them back. Senior citizens, people who don't have the time, people who don't care or believe in recycling, etc.

I live in a high rise and people will just throw them down the shute. Now what is the landlord supposed to do with them? Take them back to the store?

Beyond dumb.

Like the article says, they are hoping that you don't bring them back.

Its just a nicely hidden tax.
