An Act relative to recycling nips

This bill updates Massachusetts recycling laws to specifically include small 50-milliliter alcoholic drink containers, known as nips, in the state's deposit return program. It establishes a 10-cent refund value for these nips, which is double the standard 5-cent refund applied to other beverage containers like bottles and cans. The legislation also clarifies that redemption centers and reverse vending machines are not required to process these small containers immediately if they hold the owed refund in an account accessible within two business days. Additionally, the bill adjusts the legal definition of a beverage container to include nips while excluding certain packaging types and requires officials to review handling fees for these new items.
