ESSEX, CT — With an eye toward being green and promoting recycling throughout town the Town of Essex recently posted some interesting recycling vs. trash information.
Did you know, the amount of trash you create should be about EQUAL to the amount of recycling?
Do a spot check now to see how you measure up. If your garbage is overflowing and your recycling is slim (or even empty!), then it's time to pay attention to What's In and What's Out! When your trash does exceed your recycling on any given week, do a quick mental review of the previous days. When your trash is minimal compared to recycling, do the same. You'll be able to pinpoint areas that have received or could use a little recycling TLC, then keep an eye on those moving forward.
