If you're not recycling, you're throwing it all away

Recycling is one area in which you can directly impact your town's taxes. Every ton of recycled material is disposed of without cost to the five towns. The trash dumped into our trash compactors costs over $90/ton. By directing material into the recycling bins, you can save that cost, reduce your tax bill, and help the environment. Recycling is not a new idea, people have been doing it for a long time. During World War II, Americans recycled many things in an effort to help the war. They saw recycling as a way to help defend our country. Now when it is clear that the amount of trash produced is posing serious problems, recycling is needed more than ever. People recognize recycling as their duty to help preserve the environment that they enjoy.
