Hyde Park, MA - 10/21/21 - Many alcohol bottlers sell their products in “nip” bottles. The group Keep Hyde Park Beautiful is making an effort to collect 10,000 discarded liquor “nips” bottles from the streets. With no deposits allowed on the tiny bottles, and no way to recycle them, the nips are a persistent litter problem. (Lane Turner/Globe Staff) Reporter: (Brian MacQuarrie) Topic: (22nips)
