Old Lyme First Selectwoman Bonnie Reemsnyder is asking residents to pay careful heed to the definitions of items acceptable for single stream recycling and items that are prohibited. The vendor who processes Old Lyme’s single stream recycling has reported an unusual amount of prohibited items in the recycling collected from the town.
The vendor notes this results in additional processing costs and consequently may result in the Town of Old Lyme incurring penalties and additional fees.
