Collect litter and earn a free beverage voucher from one of these amazing breweries as a thanks! 🍻

🗓️Date: Saturday, November 30, 2024
⏰ Time: 10:00am - 12:00pm
Together, we’ll be collecting data on packaging and beverage containers to support an Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging Bill, which aims to hold producers accountable for the packaging waste they create. Your counts provide data and help shape policies for Maryland to shift financial responsibility for packaging recycling and disposal to producers and to create incentives for better and more recyclable packaging design. ♻️
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!
