Over the past few years we have seen increasing attention and concern toward 50ml 'nip' containers sold by most liquor stores across Massachusetts. City officials have been charged with deciding how to handle littering issues with one option being the ban of said containers. This particular motion comes at a great cost for small businesses which have proven to be staples in local economies. Through the Bounty on Nips program (started in June 2021) which is a collaborative effort between the nine Attleboro liquor stores and the Keep Attleboro Beautiful foundation, we have properly collected/disposed of nips numbering in the 10s of thousands as well as simultaneously raising $8,800 for the local charity's efforts.
