The Oregon Bottle Bill is a container-deposit legislation passed in the U.S. state of Oregon in 1971 and amended in 2007. It requires cans, bottles, and other containers of carbonated soft drink, beer, and (since 2009) water sold in Oregon to be returnable with a minimum refund value. It is administered and enforced by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Oregon's Bottle Bill )〕 The law is credited with reducing litter and increasing container recycling. As a result, items which used to make up around 40% of roadside litter now represent about 6%. With return rates averaging 90%, another major benefit is in waste reduction and resource conservation, particularly for aluminum. By comparison, states without similar bills recycle on average 28% of their containers. Beverage distributors retain all deposits not reclaimed by consumers. Oregon's 1971 ''Beverage Container Act''〔(www.bottlebill.org ) Bottle Bills in the USA: Oregon. Retrieved 2013-04-24.〕 (ORS 459A.700 to 459A.740)〔(www.bottlebill.org ) Oregon Revised Statutes, Chapter 459A. Retrieved 2013-04-24.〕 was the first such legislation passed in the United States. ==Applicability== Any beverage of the following kinds under 3 liters sold in Oregon is required to carry a deposit, which as of 2015 is 5 cents per container. # Water and flavored water # Beer or other malt beverages # Mineral waters, soda water and similar carbonated soft drinks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/459a.html )〕 Deposit is initially collected by the manufacturer and charged at each transaction.〔http://www.bottlebill.org/about/whatis.htm〕 Unclaimed deposit is kept by the distributors.〔http://www.bottlebill.org/about/unclaimed.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oregon Bottle Bill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
