Ottawa Now - Councillor Carr calls for incentivized recycled bottles policy

An Ottawa city councillor wants to incentivize people to recycle their bottles more often, and she’s calling on the province to take action. Marty Carr wants to expand Ontario’s deposit return program for items like water bottles, pop cans, and juice boxes.
