Paul Nonnenmacher, our Director of Public Affairs, recently spoke to the Goshen Library Directors about recycling, including CRRA's new single-stream recycling initiative.

Lynn Steinmayer, Director of the Goshen Public Library, summed up the presentation on her blog.

CRRA is eager to keep people informed about recycling, trash disposal and other important environmental issues. If your city or town -- or, for that matter, your school, civic organization or service club -- would like a presentation, please call Paul Nonnenmacher at (860) 757-7700.

Garbage Museum on radio

Living on Earth, a nationally syndicated radio program that airs on WNPR-FM and about 300 other radio stations across the country, did a great feature on the Garbage Museum. The story takes you onto the tip floor of the adjacent recycling processing center and meets people as they checked out Trash-o-saurus and the museum's other exhibits.

By the way, the story references a birthday party we had for Trash-o-saurus on May 10. Our museum is now home to a one-ton teenager.
