Recycling Forum

April 9, 2021

 

Tonight, I had the opportunity to co-host along with the Fairfield Public Library and the Sustainable Fairfield Task Force, Sherill Baldwin from DEEP to offer her “What’s In, What’s Out” program. Recycling can be confusing – did you know black plastics are NOT recyclable in CT? I didn’t.

On my website I have the DEEP widget where you can enter anything you aren’t sure of and it will tell you if it’s in or out. Additionally, our state has a universal list of what belongs in your recycling bin and what doesn’t. All items should be empty, rinsed, clean and open. Do not shred, box, bag or bundle.

You can find the universal list here and you can watch the full "What's In, What's Out"' program below.
