Together, we’ll be collecting data on packaging and beverage containers to support the 2025 Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging Bill, which aims to hold producers accountable for sustainable packaging design. Your data counts directly help to drive this bill forward and keep producers accountable for end-of-life disposal. ♻️
Plus, don’t miss out on our first-ever Bag It and Ban It Challenge! Pick up bags of trash and keep a mental tally of the packaging* and another mentally tally of beverage containers* you find. Send your totals to milan@trashfreemaryland.org and tag us on Social Media #BagItBanIt. The top three collectors of the most bags of litter will win a TFM t-shirt at the event!
Support our Giving Tuesday campaign, the mission of Extended Producer Responsibility, by donating during the month of November! Every contribution goes directly to education, advocacy, and community engagement. Donate Here.
