Committee agrees to sell pilot bags at Stop & Shop, Bantam Market, Walgreens, CVS and Ace Hardware
Summary
WRC and Waste Zero decided the pilot bags should be available at several convenient retail locations rather than only at the Recycling Center; the group also discussed using teal, the LHS color, for the bags’ appearance.
During the July 21 meeting, participants discussed how to distribute the pilot bags and concluded that limiting sales to the Recycling Center would restrict access. The group agreed to make the bags available at several local retailers, listing Stop & Shop, Bantam Market, Walgreens, CVS and Ace Hardware as intended outlets.
The minutes note the bag color had not been finalized but "will most likely [be] teal, the color used by LHS for uniforms," suggesting an intent to visually align the product with local school colors or community branding. Committee members framed retail availability as a way to make the program convenient for working families and residents who do not visit the Recycling Center frequently.
