  3 32 resources.
  3 33    The bill removes wine and alcoholic liquor from the

  4  1 beverage container deposit.
  4  2    The bill requests the department of natural resources to
  4  3 use landfill alternative grant moneys to provide a grant to a

  4  6 to the department from the solid waste account of the
  4  7 groundwater protection fund under section 455E.11 and are used
  4  8 to encourage alternatives to landfilling.
  4  9    Finally, the bill establishes as a public policy of the
  4 10 state, the encouragement of curbside recycling programs.
