Today is America Recycles Day

Today is America Recyles Day!

Recycling is awesome, but it's also the law, as the town of Montville points out on its website!

The town does an awesome job when it comes to recycling and the website provides myriad information about not only pick-up but a very comprehensive list of acceptable items.

And at the Montville Transfer Station there's an awesome recycle shed, just so you know. So reduce, reuse, recycle, Montville! 

And speaking of the Transfer Station, on Sunday, Nov. 18, there will be recycling handouts, coloring pages for the kids and a free compost bin raffle!

Here's more from the town:

Recycling saves money

       The more items in your waste stream that you recycle, the less money our town spends in disposal fees. Not only does recycling save money, sometimes, depending on the market for recyclable materials, it actually makes money. Wow, recycling saves money and makes money, sounds like a win win!

Here’s How:

• Place all clean, recyclable materials in a container designated for recycling, paper and cardboard may be bundled. 
• Recycle all plastic containers with the number 1-7 in a recycle symbol.
• All glass jars and bottles plus all paper, mail, magazines, books, paperboxes, and cardboard.

Place items on the curbside on your designated day for pickup.
