State: 68,000 Nips Sold In Ridgefield Since October
The latest Connecticut nip bottle surcharge payments to municipalities have been announced.
RIDGEFIELD, CT — As it did in April and October 2022, Connecticut's wine and spirits industry is distributing funds generated from the state’s "nickel-per-nip" environmental stewardship program to all Connecticut cities and towns where nips are sold and Ridgefield's payout has been announced.
Under the program, each municipality receives 5 cents for each nip sold within its borders every six months.
The money from the eco fee is intended for locally driven environmental stewardship programs.
