You will help local rescues, shelters, farms and wildlife sanctuaries, and more buy cozy beds to rest in, fun toys to play with, and nutritious food and treats to keep our animal friends happy and healthy.

Our #EarthWeek celebrations continue with this awe

Our #EarthWeek celebrations continue with this awesome story we just had to share it with you! 🌎

Our associate, Sue, in our Canton, CT store was approached by Miss Stevie Juliano, a former Job Lot associate who is now an educator. She was hoping to collaborate on an Earth Day Project and asked if she could "borrow" paper shopping bags for each of her 4th through 6th grade students at Canton Intermediate School, to which Sue agreed. The project had the students come together to learn about the history of Earth Day, what they can do to make an impact, and how they can give back to their community. Each student spent time decorating OSJL shopping bags with an Earth Day theme, quote, or fact.

Shortly after, Miss Juliano returned the beautifully decorated shopping bags to our Canoton, CT store. That location will use the bags for our customers, spreading the students' messages. Each bag will be an important reminder of the good things that can happen when OSJL & the community come together to celebrate Earth Day.

A special thank you to our associate Sue for sharing this story and to Miss Juliano for involving OSJL in this awesome and impactful project! 🌎

Happy #EarthDay! 🌎 We have some great news to share!

Ocean State Job Lot is always working to become more sustainable in a way that will help create a higher quality future for our customers, associates and communities. That being said, we are officially launching our program that everyone is able to get involved in and make a difference. At every store, you will see bins where you can recycle plastic bags. We were surprised to find out this includes things like bread bags & cereal liners! All items that are recycled will go to Trex's Earth-friendly composite decking and railing.

We are so excited to launch this on Earth Day and to be taking steps to become a more sustainable retailer. Keep an eye out for more posts this week on what we are doing to work toward becoming a Net Zero company!
