Make It 10 Cents! – Community Panel
May 26 at 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Canners are some of the city’s most essential environmental workers – almost single-handedly driving the success of New York’s most effective recycling program. It’s time to give them a raise. The
Bigger Better Bottle Bill is pending legislation that would double the redemption rate from 5 to 10 cents and expand the types of cans and bottles eligible for return.
Local experts discuss why passing this bill matters — and what’s at stake.
Panel is part of artist Siyan Wong’s exhibition “Make It 10 Cents” on view at Welcome to Chinatown, 115 Bowery, until May 19, 2026
