Got Bag Campaign

The Manchester Challenge and the Manchester and the Mountains Chamber of Commerce launched a new campaign to eliminate the use of plastic bags in the Manchester region. Manchester strives to be a "Green leader". To this end we have developed a canvas bag initiative entitled "GOT BAG?!" Not only does it promote the reduction of plastic bags in our communities, but the bag program supports the region and the ongoing effort to go green.

Bags can be purchased for $5.00 at: Brook Valley Appliance, Dutton Farm Stand, The Equinox Hotel, Friends of the Sun, Hand Motors, Manchester Farmer's Market, Manchester Regional Chamber of Commerce, Manchester Town Clerk's Office, The Mountain Goat, Northshire Bookstore, Northshire Interfaith Council, Price Chopper, rk Miles, and Shaw's.

Or mail $8.00 (per bag) check or money order made out to:
