BFAIR Partners with City of North Adams on NIP Program
Exciting news from BFAIR’s Bottle & Can Redemption Center!
Beginning November 1, 2025, BFAIR partnered with the North Adams to help reduce nip bottle litter—one small bottle at a time.
Instead of pursuing a ban, city leaders worked with BFAIR to fund redemption of nip bottles at 5 cents each. Through $2,275 in private and business contributions, more than 30,000 nip bottles have already been redeemed. We will continue redeeming nip bottles as long as funds remain available.
Every bottle counts—thank you for helping keep our community clean while supporting meaningful work at BFAIR.
