We want to make sure Iowa's bottle redemptions remain convenient to all Iowans and give Iowa's recyclers an additional penny to help these businesses thrive and expand. It's been many years since the redemption rate was set. It's time to raise the handling fee by a penny and reject all proposals that take the containers out of grocery stores without a plan to ensure accessible options for all Iowans, including those who do not have reliable transportation, live in rural areas, or work odd hours.

Redemption Centers need at least an additional penny handling fee. How many other businesses do you know who have gone without a "raise" for over 40 years? Come on people get real! These people do the state a service and have received nothing for there hard work.
