Waste Watchers has accomplished the first phase of its Bring Your Own Bag campaign. The attached picture is of our sign up at Walmart in Onley, VA.
We expect to add the Shore Food Lions and possibly Family Dollar Stores soon. Any business that would like a sign can apply to Waste Watchers and/or buy one for $30. The sign was designed by a local artist of great renown.
