More plastics? Not just yet

You've probably heard by now that CRRA will soon be accepting all types of plastic at its Mid-Connecticut Project recycling facility.

However, contrary to what you may have read elsewhere, it's not happening just yet. The company manufacturing the equipment we need has informed us that we won't have the equipment until later this winter, so as of now we're hoping to begin accepting these additional materials in early spring. We'll keep you posted.

And also remember that this will only apply to residents of those 64 towns that send their recyclables to our Mid-Connecticut facility. Check this list; if your town is marked with an asterisk, or does not appear at all, your hauler or local public works department can tell you what you can and can't recycle.

Starting May 1, residents of the 64 cities and towns that send their recyclables to the Mid-Connecticut Project will be able to include food and beverage containers made from plastics #3 through #7 with their other recyclables. To find out whether you live in a participating town, check our Web site at http://www.crra.org/pages/project_map.htm.
