Oregon can and bottle deposits will increase to 10 cents April 1, 2017.

Redemption rates were below 80 percent in 2014 and 2015 — 64.45 percent and 68.26 percent, respectively — triggering an automatic increase as specified in House Bill 3145.

Oregon’s Bottle Bill was introduced in 1971 as the very first bottle bill in the United States. The Oregon Legislature has given the Oregon Liquor Control Commission authority to administer and enforce the Bottle Bill.

“It is the OLCC’s responsibility to implement the Legislature’s changes and to provide excellent customer service to the public and our stakeholders to make sure they are complying with state laws,” OLCC Executive Director Steve Marks said in a press release. “Just as we are carrying out the recreational marijuana program, and expanding retail liquor sales, we are equally dedicated to making the bottle bill implementation a success through ongoing communication and flexibility.”

Water, flavored water, soda water, mineral water, carbonated soft drinks, beer and malt beverages are included in the Bottle Bill.
