Beverage Industry NewsSupport sought for mandatory beverage container feesMinnesota needs a push if it is to reach an 80 percent goal by 2012 to recycle beverage containers, say two young people who want a mandatory refund fee put on containers.“We wanted to do something in public policy and recycling,” says Ben Olson, who with Sarah Heuer operate the Web site recyclingrefund.com.“We took a look at the beverage recycling issue,” said Olson of Maple Grove, Minn. “Our current recycling rate is at about 35 percent for beverage containers.”And industry-led volunteer initiative isn’t in the offing, he said. A second option is a mandatory deposit fee placed on beverage containers, which 11 other states do.Heuer of Fairmont, Minn., attended graduate school in Iowa, a state which has had mandatory deposit fees since the late 1970s.“It has had popular support,” said Heuer, who with Olson last week were visiting newspapers across the state.“We got interested in this whole campaign, this whole process, because our recycling rate for beverage containers is 35 percent,” she said, “which doesn’t seem like enough to us. They are so easily recyclable if you just do your part.”
