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. ....

When we welcomed in 2020 last January, no one could have imagined where we are today.

The town quickly pivoted to virtual meetings.
Despite the restrictions and protocols put in place to protect our residents, Charlestown continues to remain open for business. The dedication and hard work of all the town’s staff, under the leadership of Town Administrator Mark Stankiewicz, has provided us with continuity during this difficult time. ....
