Due to the coronavirus emergency, bottle and can redemption centers in Massachusetts were not required to accept bottles and cans starting on March 18. However, that is about to change.
Starting Friday, June 5, businesses with reverse vending machines for bottles and cans will be required to be operational, according to WCVB-TV Channel 5.
Two Republicans lost their respective races for seats in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, including one seat previously held by the GOP.
For Democrats, the flip occurred in the Third Bristol District, which is mostly in Taunton. Republican Shaunna O'Connell previously held the seat, but she was elected mayor of Taunton last November. As a result, the seat has been vacant since she resigned from the House in January.
