It is the goal of the recycling group to recycle 40% of out mixed solid waste. We pay $95 a ton to tip our solid waste into a landfill. When we have items removed at no cost we have reduced expenses to the taxpayers; generating revenue is a greater reduction. We are always looking for volunteers to help in our efforts to recycle. If you have time to offer, please contact the Selectmen’s Office at 382–4405.
