Californians will soon be able to recycle fruit and vegetable juice containers after Gov. Gavin Newsom’s approval of expanding the state’s beverage container recycling program.

Mr. Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) 353, authored by Sen. Bill Dodd (D-Napa), on Oct 13, which adds 100-percent fruit and vegetable juice bottles to the state’s 1986 Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act.
