Plainfield has swept the streets twice this year, I assume from the funds distributed. I don't think anyone thought it was going to stop litterbugs, but towns are buying equipment and providing services.

Just an FYI- The sweeping most likely has nothing to do with nips or litter in general. I work for a town that has a sweeper going for 3 out 4 of the seasons. None of it is for litter.

Correct. Nothing to do with nips. Towns haven't even begun allocating the funds.

I've been here 35 years, this is the first I've seen a second run in town after the initial spring sand pickup. Mid-summer IIRC. Perhaps a complaint triggered it but our current officials I can fully imagine saying "oh we'll pick up nips.
Either way, it damn sure won't help our river banks which are even more littered with them.
Funding was released six months ago and again this month (Oct.). Towns have very different ways of dealing with windfalls.

From killingly, now that I think about it I haven't seen an abundance of nips around. I live on a pretty busy road and didn't notice the fact that I have seen so few.
