Mar. 25, 2013 5:06 pm
A new effort is being launched to upgrade Iowa's current bottle bill law.
A broad coalition of recycling advocates, business owners, elected officials, redemption center operators, environmental organizations and sportsmen groups are joining with state legislators to launch a push to modernize Iowa's five-cent beverage container redemption law.
Coalition members have planned a news conference at 8:45 a.m. Tuesday in the Iowa Capitol building to launch their proposed legislation.
