RECYCLING PROGRAM


Your Town has significantly changed and expanded its recycling program. First, residents will no longer be required to separate their recyclables. All recyclable items may be mixed together- no more sorting! We call this "single stream" recycling. Secondly, the list of items we collect has expanded to include such things as paperboard and all types of plastic containers. The complete list of items is detailed below.
