Town backs General Assembly bills that would reduce litter

CHARLESTOWN — At a lengthy virtual meeting last week, members of the Charlestown Town Council approved resolutions asking the General Assembly to pass two bills affecting beverage bottles.  House Bill 5113 would require a deposit on miniature alcoholic drink bottles, known as nips, and the second, House Bill 5280, would require a deposit on all beverage containers. Roadside litter, especially discarded nips, is a perennial concern in the town.  The first resolution was proposed by Councilor Susan Cooper, who cited the success other states have had reducing litter by introducing deposits. The council also gave unanimous support to a resolution supporting the second bill, the Beverage Container Deposit Recycling Act.
