Lawmaker wants to add water bottles to Michigan’s bottle deposit law

Michigan could see changes to its bottle deposit program under a proposal from a state senator.

The plan aims to boost recycling rates and cut down on waste across the state.

Currently, Michigan residents get a 10-cent refund for returning certain beverage containers like pop bottles and cans.

The proposed expansion would broaden the program, potentially increasing the types of containers eligible for refunds.

If lawmakers approve the measure, it will be placed on the ballot, giving voters the final say on its future.
