Plastic & Tin recycling starts MONDAY, MAY 5.  What's in it for us?  Taking plastic out of the compacted trash saves the Town money.  Recycling plastic keeps it out of a landfill - an environmental plus.  It's called co-mingled recycling, just follow the guidelines.  Look for the new bin and if you have questions talk with Stephen Preston.
