Strawberry Park will soon be contracting with the Willimantic Waste Company to begin a single stream recycling effort. Unlike the old days of recycling, single stream allows all recyclables to be placed in the same bag and end up in the same bin--no separating plastics from papers from metals. Campers will receive 2 bags upon registration, with the clear bag for all recyclables and a tinted bag for all trash. As in the past, bagged trash may be placed curbside between 8am and 4pm, and the campground maintenance staff will be collecting the bags and placing them in the appropriate dumpsters. We anticpate that this effort will result in considerably less trash being sent to the local incinerator, with a good percentage of the material heading to Willimantic, Connecticut for recycling. If you are interested in how the process works at their huge facility, or for a specific list of items that may be recycled, check out www.williwaste.com
