IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED!

Get the Bill out of Committee by November 1st

MassRecycle needs your help!  The Updated Bottle Bill (H890/S1650) has been stuck in the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy (TUE) at the State Legislature all year, despite a hearing on July 20th where over 300 people showed support for the bill.  They need to convince the TUE Committee to vote on the Bill by November 1st to give the full State Legislature a chance to weigh on in the Bill.

If you live in the district of one of the 17 TUE members listed below, please contact them to voice your support for the Updated Bottle Bill and to urge for a vote by November 1st.

If you do not reside in one of these 17 districts, contact your State Representative to voice your support for the Updated Bottle Bill and urge them to push getting the Bill out of committee.  Lookup your State Representative here.

To help you talk to your legislators, here is a sample phone script:

Hi,

My name is _______, and I live in ________.

I am calling to ask Senator/Representative ________ to urge the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy to vote on the Updated Bottle Bill before November 1st.  This bill is vital for increasing recycling in the state.  Thank you.

*Once you have contacted your Representative or TUE Member, let us know by emailing director@massrecycle.org.
