NEWINGTON NOW COLLECTING SINGLE STREAM

What does single stream recycling mean for you?

Single stream recycling means you no longer have to sort glass, paper and metal within your blue bin.  Simply mix everything together in the blue container and it will be sorted once it is delivered to the receiving facility.

How does Newington benefit from single stream recycling?

Recyclables diverted from the waste stream lower the cost the town pays in disposal fees for MSW (household garbage), currently there is no charge to dipose of recyclable material . Recycling not only helps the environment, it also saves money.

For fiscal year 2009 Newington collected over 2,200 tons of recyclables saving the town over $150,000.00 in MSW disposal fees!!

Currently all recycled material is processed at CRRA's Mid Conn project in Hartford.  For more info go to www.crra.org or contact the Sanitation Dept @ (860)-667-5874.
